Partisan vs Nonpartisan City Elections Split Among Candidates

Nine favor keeping partisan elections, two are undecided, one leans toward change, and incumbent Democrat Frank Wood did not respond due to illness. Candidates present mixed views on reform and party influence with several backing partisan systems, some preferring nonpartisan methods, and others calling for study or middle-ground tweaks.
