Rakestraw running against Mitch Johnson

I ran into Mary Rakestraw at the Christ United Methodist Church polling place on Holden Road.

When I first turned on my recorder she was busy waving to folks and asking for their votes. The second guy she flagged down while I was there asked her to get rid of Mitch Johnson, the city manager.

"You do know I'm the only at-large person talking about that," she answered back.

She then chatted for a while about why she thought the city manager was an issue.

Rakestraw also talked a little strategy and why she was staying put at one polling place.

"If there's a vote out there I'm going for it," Rakestraw said.
