I am really surprised that Lisa McDonald did not get an acceptable rating from Stonewall with her long history of activism and support to the GLBT community. It seems like a pretty big slap to me. I would be interested in hearing from people active in Stonewall what she did that would cause Stonewall to withhold an acceptable rating from her. In all of her council races she always sought out and was given Stonewall and DFL party endorsement. When she ran for mayor there was no DFL endorsed candidate so she can't be accused of running against an endorsed candidate. I haven't talked to Lisa recently so I don't know if she is running DFL or not in this election. I thought perhaps she didn't seek out endorsement from Stonewall but I hear that she did screen. I am not surprised that Jim Bernstein was found acceptable but I am surprised that he for Stonewall DFL endorsement. Jim is a former republican and was active in the Independence Party and a part of the Ventura administration when Jesse was the governor. Did Jim become a democrat now? Is he seeking DFL party endorsement? Barb Lickness Whittier Ward 6
