Independence

During a candidate's forum last night, Stacy Head's former chief of staff and current candidate for her old District B council seat Eric Strachan attempted to establish "independence" from his former boss.

While Horton has been the only candidate openly critical of the seat’s previous representative, Stacy Head, her former chief of staff opened his remarks by pledging his own independence from her.
“I’ve got this experience working under two strong-willed City Councilwomen, but I will be my own man,” Strachan said. “I will be an independent voice on this council.”

Today we read that Head does not plan to make an endorsement in this race. 

In other words, Strachan likely sees his association with Head as a liability.  And so she's helping coordinate his strategy of establishing independence. Funny how that works.
