We have been working on updating a master list of candidates and endorsements for the May Primary and one of the things on the chart is Facebook profiles.  Here is a rundown of how the city council candidates stack up based on their facebook fans and friends.  Looks like Bruce Kraus is by far the most popular candidate on Facebook and who knew there were that many republicans in District 5.

City Council District 1

  • Darlene Harris – only had a FB profile
  • Vince Pallus = 248 Fans
  • Bobby Wilson = 106 Fans

City Council District 3

  • Bruce Kraus = 2407 Fans
  • Jeff Koch = 54 Fans
  • Jason Phillips = 256 Friends
  • Gavin Robb = 68 Fans

City Council District 5

  • Corey O’Connor =  220 Fans
  • Josh Wanderer = 84 Fans

    As of the last election there were 3663 registered Republicans in District 5. That having been said, I have a fair share of Independent & Democrat fans as well. ;-)
