They include his work with city government panels, local agencies like the Housing Authority, and his graduate degree in organizational development.

The first was Robert E. Sheets who ran back in '89. I'm suprised the staff at Q-notes was not aware of this or if they did know, failed to recognize Mr. Sheets. Hopefully the writer will do some research on Mr. Sheets' run for City Council and correct the error in the article. Actually Owen will be the second openly gay man to run for City Council.

I see nothing wrong with a primary race. If he wins great, its a resounding edict for change. if he doesnt, it may make the current Dem more resiliant and in a better spot to run against her republican counterpart. Look how much Hillary's race against Obama made him a better candidate. Either way its Democracy at its best. As long as they dont tear eachother down in the process its a win-win for the Democratic party. In response to MechanicMan. I see nothing wrong with a primary race.
