Bexley, Ohio. An open letter to the community of mayoral candidates.

To the eight candidates seeking the solitary mayor’s desk.

Help preserve the secret ballot.

No yard signs this election. Please.

Don’t ask us to put your signs in our front yards. Help preserve the secret ballot.

One of the many benefits to the long and frequently unopposed tenure of Mayor David Madison was that we didn’t have to choose sides in a very public way in our neighborhoods.

For the mayor’s race at least, we didn’t have to display partisan posters because there was no opposition.

In the current election, it’s almost as if at least one candidate lives down the block from everybody in this little town.

With so many names in the race for mayor, every resident of Bexley knows at least two of the candidates. Many probably know five or six of the candidates. The school-age daughter of one of the editorial collective members even knows one of the candidates. Some members of the WCRX-LP editorial collective have been approached by three candidates with requests to display campaign signs in their yards.

How do you choose which yard sign to display?

That is a choice Bexley residents don’t need this election.

The candidates should let us make our choice in secrecy at the voting machine not in our front yards.

Candidates for mayor, don’t ask us to put your sign in our front yards.
