You might have had some credibility had you not had Rich Coleman and Mary Polak on your list. Those 2 have interfered in municipal affairs and the school board and there are many in the Langley/Aldergrove/Fort Langley area that will not be forgetting it anytime soon.
We evaluated them solely on their credentials on crime. What they do in municipal affairs is not within the mandate of this group.
