Not sure about who does and doesn't want to be a council person, anyone nominated and on the ballot against it? Some peopel seem surprised to know
that they are on the ballots, tho happily surprised apparently.
Pretty much everyone has been happy across the board. It is quite an honor. A few people have expressed a disinclination, finding it to be a
surprise, but whether they withdraw or not is a private matter. They'll announce if they wish, or do it behind closed doors.
