Election Day 2011 is upon us and voting for Mayor and City Council is currently underway.

Today being election day we thought we would revisit those interviews so readers can take a last look at the candidates before heading out to vote.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: We just found out that the winners of today's contests can go on to potentially serve in powerful government posts, serving terms as long as six years. Ignore the above advice. This crap matters.)
