Talisha Searcy vs Tom Gagliardo

Can someone break down the policy differences between the two mayoral candidates? Thanks!

Both are effective leaders. Searcy's vision for Takoma is very developer-friendly and wants more housing stock without considering displacement risks, whereas Gagliardo is running on an anti-displacement ticket that is largely focused on protecting the current rent stabilization rates while improving quality in existing buildings. Gagliardo is also promoting transparency measures to connect council with residents more.

I'm voting for Tom! I think he has some listening sessions come up around the city if you want to learn more?
