Who do you like in the April 9 1st Ward race: Zac Ploppert or Mike Bruno?
Attached to this article is a Patch poll, where you can "vote" for your favorite candidate.
In the comments field below, write your personal endorsement for your favorite candidate. There's no limit to the number of comments you can post, but we're going to ask that you post only the reasons you are voting for a candidate, not why you're voting against his opponent.
On-site comments will need approval by the Geneva Patch editor. To qualify for on-site approval:
- The comment must be positive.
- The commenter must use his or her full name. (If you have a username that does not include your full name, just leave your full name in the post.)
If you have questions you would like to pose to either or both candidates, please feel free to ask them here. The same rules apply for on-site approval.

Mike Bruno's passion for Geneva history, its economy and the welfare of its people has been evidenced for years. As a neighbor, I have seen him, always first on the scene, offering to help as others have experienced fires, lightning strikes, downed trees. His common sense approach to problem solving will be a great asset to the governance of Geneva.

I have known Zac for several years and respect his intellect and desire to serve but in this instance I am going to endorse Mike Bruno. Mike's proven experience as a businessman, his expertise in the IT field (much needed on the City Council), and mainly the fact that he has already served for 11 years as a volunteer on an important City Commission tip the balance very much in his favor in my opinion.
I would ask Zac to follow the same path, serve in a volunteer position on one or more of the City Commissions before running for office. It makes one better prepared, I think.
