Imagine centering your political campaign on wanting more traffic, more noise and more crashes in the neighborhood.

It’s kinda covered in what you said but I feel “pollution” needs to be specified.

LOL, imagine being a "local business owner" claiming to be for "thriving local business," yet being so nonsensically, terminally ignorant that you make fighting against bike lanes your central campaign issue even though bike lanes are actually good for business!

What a catastrophic dipshit.

Hope she suffers an embarrassing loss over such a stupid campaign.

Most Americans are incapable of seeing the big picture. They'll drive to the polling station cursing about all the bicyclists in the road, vote against bike lanes "because I don't use them", and drive home still cursing about all the bicyclists in the road. They could have been on a bike path out of your way, you know!

This depends on the education of the average American voter.

So she promises safer streets, but wants to remove bike lanes? So how is she going to make streets safer? Reduce all speed limits to 20 MPH?

Safe(R) streets = more police
