City elections should be non-partisan

Attempts to turn  Kyle city elections from their long standing non-partisan traditions, which go back nearly 100 years, fell flat as a flitter last weekend as three incumbents racked up victories at the polls.

Efforts to paint the winners – Mayor Lucy  Johnson, and council members David Wilson and Becky Selbera – as something other than deep rooted,  mainstream members of our community were ludicrous and insulting to the intelligence of most voters of all political stripes.
