“Are you a Democrat?”
No, in this election, I’m non partisan as is required by law.
Self identifying and seeking party endorsements are against the letter and spirit of the charter.
If a candidate’s runs as a self identified and endorsed partisan, then the charter requirement becomes meaningless. If a candidate runs as a partisan, I think state law would then require that the candidate running as a partisan disclose that in all communications.
