Is it just me or all the Mayoral Candidates not getting equal coverage?

Here is the list so far:

Adam Ford : Community activist

NORM BRYANT : A barbershop owner and longtime community activist

TED JANKOWSKI : Host of a cable television show

KENDRICK D. KEMP : Worked for the Flint Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and as the marketing director for Bishop International Airport

DAYNE WALLING : Research fellow at the Genesee County Land Bank

DALE WEIGHILL : President of the Resource Center

Tamara Edwards : Chief Operating Officer for a non-profit organization

Scott Kincaid : City Council's longest-serving member. UAW representative for Greater Flint Health Coalition; journeyman tool and die maker.

JOHN BEATTY : A handyman who moved to Flint about a year ago after a friend was killed

Who did I missed?? The news said there are 13?

I think Norm has been given the worst/unfair coverage. It is still early though. Hopefully when the journal makes their endorsement it will be fair. I personally don't consider anyone officially running until Inez Brown says their name will be on the ballot though. You could have 100 people pick up petitions but that doesn't mean anything if only a couple will make it on the ballot. John Beatty has been seen in sandals and carrying a fishing pole around at city council meeetings so I don't expect him to get much coverage.

Does anyone know what "small non profit that helps small businesses" Edwards runs? http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?section=local&id=5022847

Hey, that's my kind of candidate! Does he have a website? How can I make a contribution to his campaign?

I agree also not everyone is getting equal coverage. noone is actually except for the mayor. We need more exposure for the candidates. i think there so very good options this election. i interested in hearing more about dale weighill and dayne walling the most though.
