			I read the basic information, printed in the same local news website that reported the results. I don't think I could remember any of them, but they did give information, such as how many children they have, and which local church they go to, and which local organizations they do things for.  
 
And that they want to be on Council because they Care Very Hard About Collegeville. OMG the Caring. It's universal in local candidates. I'm sure you've seen that kind of bullshit summary before.  
 
"Liked best" in this context is pretty much exactly the wrong reason to vote for someone, which is why they do it in that style. It's fine that they were Boy Scout troop leaders, or whatever, improves the probability that they are decent people. But it doesn't speak to what they would do on Council, or whether they have interests in line with Stalin. But that's why people vote for Council people, because they go to similar churches and are joiners who like to run Scouting troops.
