Any thoughts on the Hennepin County Commissioner Primary today?

http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/256791291.html

Since Gail Dorfman is stepping down, there are 6 people (4 serious) who are seeking her fill her position. Does anyone have any thoughts on the candidates? Anyone have any experience with them?

from the link:

The candidates include two former legislators who lost their seats to redistricting, one St. Louis Park City Council member and an assistant Hennepin County attorney. The six candidates are Marion Greene, Ken Kelash, Anne Mavity, Ben Schweigert, and frequent candidates Bob Reuer and Bob “Again” Carney Jr.

Greene and Kelash both served in the Legislature as DFLers from Minneapolis. Mavity briefly worked as an aide to Dorfman. Schweigert embraces being called a progressive. The candidates espouse social justice, equality and a social safety net.
