He's finally running a serious campaign, and with the conservative off-year electorate and the Democratic schism, could Alan Lerchbacker actually win the council seat? What seemed impossible a month ago is now entering the realm of remote, but real, possibility.
Lerchbacker is lining up endorsements and running a serious advertising campaign. If he'd started six months earlier and gotten involved in local issues, he'd likely be the favorite right now.
UPDATE: Brian Brady has some good vote breakdown analysis over at SDRostra.
