I'd rather have them run unopposed than have someone run a disruptive campaign they know they can't win for political clout. Just burns money and time from both sides that could be put towards the actual governance. That being said, if Gauthier wasn't doing her job with aplomb I might feel differently.

Neato, Gauthier is the best representative that West Philly has had in ages and would be tough to beat. Random Anecdote - I remember complaining to the water department for weeks about a broken hydrant on our street. I reached out to Gauthier and within a half day it was fixed. She's frequently engaging folks on community forums and seems to actively fight for them. West Philly has had some shitty reps, but Gauthier ain't one of them.

It's in the center of the city. Center city. Seems pretty straight forward
