From his campaign website:

Nirenberg is a former program director for the Annenberg Public Policy Center, where he developed and directed award-winning civic engagement programs in cities across the United States, including San Antonio. He is also the former General Manager of Trinity University’s KRTU-FM

Some examples of the Annenberg Public Policy Center's political views here.

Nirenberg's website makes no mention of which party he is affiliated with, and he has stated he did not affiliate with any political party.

According to a biography on the Council for Latino Workplace Equity's website, Nirenberg 's wife "was a Researcher for the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania focusing on Latino voter efforts".

Closet? Nirenberg has been my District 8 council member and I could tell from Day 1 of the election campaign he was a big lefty.

Ivy is pretty conservative compared to that guy.

Yeh, it's a strange situation -

In the past, Taylor has identified as being a Dem, but seems to be pretty conservative.

She's running against the current county chairman of the Dem party (Medina), and managed to beat the party's choice (Van de Putte) last time - so the Party Faithful ain't exactly in love with her...

There have even been reports about the GOP recruiting her to run for higher office (as a Republican).

Ivy will beat his ass. The north side will never vote for him.

Ivy is really quite level headed. She is a well educated black lady who's speech pattern doesn't give away her racial heritage. I have only talked to her a couple of times; but know her husband and daughter. I was impressed with her daughter's behavior and her husband's manors.

Phony Conservatives are everywhere. Our POS mayor in Plano is a lefty who pretends not to be.

Interesting. I thought SA was not a racist place?  They kicked out the black lady for a white guy..........

/s


I'm not sure theres much difference  between the two other than gender and race. But I will say when Ivy was speaking she seemed coherent vs most democrats.  I don't ever hear her calling for gun bans or social justice rhetoric.

I don't think anyone has ever accused him of being a conservative, much less a phony conservative.
If local elections were partisan (meaning he runs as a Democrat) he would never have been elected.

His political future in Collin County is over if he runs as a Democrat. He isn't going to out himself.

Some of our Dem neighbors voted for him because Ivy wasnt SJW enough. I was kind of shocked at that.
