Hank talks with Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest runner-up, Geoff Esper

7-6-22 The Hank Zone - Nathan's Hot Dogs Runner-Up- Geoff Esper

Hank Stolz and Ben White along with Guillermo Creamer, Mark Henderson and Tom Marino break down the Worcester Preliminary vote. Five keen election observers but five very different takes on what exactly the results mean for November.
Consensus that it was a good night for Moe Bergman, Gary Rosen and Jermoh Kamara who all to some extent exceeded expectations. A tough night for Khrystian King and his ambition to be Mayor as he finished fifth in the preliminary.  A great night for Mayor Joe Petty seeking a historic eighth term.
Are the results a rebuke for the progressive movement, with Mayor Petty, Kate Toomey, Moe Bergman and Gary Rosen finishing 1-4? What are the chances for Incumbent Donna Colorio, Dr. Satya Mitra and Cayden Davis, all on the outside but knocking on the door? 
Races to watch; School Committee District E with Kathy Roy receiving 42% of the vote but "progressive" challengers Nelly Medina and Noelia Chafoya receiving over 50% of the vote. With Chafoya out of the race do all those votes go to Medina? What will increased turnout in November bring. District races, several of which pit more "progressive" candidates against more moderate candidates. 
Interesting side conversation about the influence of media and social media sites. Are these sites just echo chambers, helping to bring out new voters or not adding much to the conversation?
Vote Tuesday November 4th in the Worcester Municipal Election.
