Man, look how close that was. Still, predictable. We'll all hope that Ms. Cooper-Stokes will be more present than Ms. Stokes. Hopefully, she will turn out to be a great councilwoman for Ward 3.

I know LaRita Cooper-Stokes. She is a true lady. She is also sensitive to the issues that matter most to her constituents, and smart and caring enough to consider the viewpoints of others. She'll make a fine councilwoman.
