I'd like to stress that having 7 candidates for seven seats is no reason to hold back. I'd like to encourage you to run if you have been thinking about it and please do continue to encourage others to run. Everyone that volunteers to run is already a very important part of our community! Volunteering to help is the important part! Thanks!
