Generally, those of us who "have no clue who is running for those offices" are not paying attention.  Jim Berrios, Dana Ralph and Elizabeth Albertson have been active in Kent for years, and have all been quite consistent in their approach and priorities, so  I doubt I will be much surprised by them at this event.    This will be an opportunity for Andrew Swansen to introduce himself to the portion of Kent that pays attention to this sort of thing (a decreasing fraction, I am afraid).
