Indeed. How many of them are GOP?

Interstingly, the council web page does not give any party affiliation of any of the council members.

But most of them are lawyers or business majors. So dumb is definitely confirmed.

There is a "gang of 5" that are hardcore Maga. They basically control the council as a bloc. Though I would classify a few of the others as more old school republicans.

OK, "dumb" confirmed.

Let me put it this way. One of them, Paxson, was in a run off last election. Both she and her run off opponent sent out mailers of themselves standing next to Ted Cruz.
