On Nov. 5, York City residents can vote for two of four candidates seeking a four-year term on the York City Council. <\/p>\n
Those choices include Manuel Gomez, a Libertarian and self-described \"resident muckraker\" who is \"admittedly here to disrupt the status quo.\" <\/p>\n
Cindy Martin, the lone Republican on the ballot, is a retired nurse who wants the city to get its property-tax rate under control. <\/p>\n
Renee Nelson, a teacher who said she's comfortable in her role as a dissenting voice on the council, is seeking her second term as a Democratic councilwoman. <\/p>\n
And, finally, Democrat Henry Nixon is also seeking a second term. He's a 43-year resident of the city who said he wants to make York City a happy place for his grandchildren. <\/p>\n
That's a snapshot of the message each candidate delivered Monday to a small crowd gathered for a forum hosted by the York NAACP. <\/p>\n
A fifth council candidate, David Satterlee, is unopposed in his bid for a two-year term. <\/p>\n
Each candidate had only one minute to answer questions. <\/p>\n
Some dissonance emerged between the three incumbent candidates and Gomez, who promised to bring a different philosophy to the council. <\/p>\n
