Unlike other incumbents on the ballot who have just one or two challengers, McKee-Rodriguez faces nine. “I think what people expect of a council person is someone who bends to the whim of these different factions,” he said. “You have to go with the neighborhood every time, and you have to be at every religious function. You have to do X, Y and Z thing, or else we’re going to run against you.
Still, the crowded ballot ensures that it will be difficult, if not impossible, for him to win outright on May 6. That would require earning more than 50 percent of the vote. Gutierrez, an artist, charged McKee-Rodriguez with being more interested in promoting his “lifestyle” than advocating for District 2.
“In order for things to get done in our community, our council person should have a relationship with the community,” Jones said. “It doesn’t have to be a great relationship, but it has to be one where we can at least sit down and discuss matters at hand — with law enforcement, with our developers, with our faith-based community, with the nonprofits, our small businesses.”Walker, 64, was a longtime member of the city’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
