It's no big surprise that Danny Kelly had two campaigning events back-to-back in the weeks leading up to today's election that could maintain his seat on council. It's fair to say that, at an afternoon brunch at P.J. McIntyre's in West Park, Kelly was doing pretty well.

Although Kelly was picked out of seven interviewees last year to replace former councilperson Brian Mooney, who resigned to run for a judge seat on the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, Tuesday will be the first time his popularity with the 13,500 potential voters of Ward 11 is put to the test. Politically speaking, Hardy and Kelly have their differences. Both support Issues 1 and 2, yet separate on the heated nature of participatory budgeting, Issue 38. Kelly takes Council's side—that the PB initiative should go down at the polls—while Hardy sees Issue 38 as an experiment in good democracy.
