By the time Sunday’s forum at the closed Southwest High School got to the 4th District council candidates, the majority of the large crowd that had assembled for the mayoral forum had left. About 70 stuck it out to hear from the candidates, and according to the tallies released by the sponsor, Deth Im, an at-large candidate, and Jan Marcason, an in-district candidate, made the biggest impression.
Forty-six votes for categories such as best opening statement, 4th District issues, leadership and integrity, showed Im and Marcason scored highest in seven of the seven categories in their respective races.
For the 4th district-at-large race in overall impression, Doug Gamble came second and John Tancredi came third. For the 4th in-district candidates, Mark Forsythe came second and Ezekiel Amador came third in the overall impression category.
