Chris Riley

Is anyone familiar with Chris Riley, a potential city council candidate? A colleague of mine is working on his campaign.

Chris Riley. He's a really solid environmentalist, advocate for public transit, and strong on progressive development. He's earned really great support in the biking community, and he lives downtown. He's so committed to green living that he doesn't own a car.

I tend to prefer to get involved with issue groups, rather than volunteer for political campaigns, but it might be time to try something new. Anyway, I would like to know what folks had to say about Riley.

Re: Chris Riley

Riley is a committed pedestrian and cyclist and a friend to both modes. Unlike many who share those stripes, he's also respectable enough to get elected, IMO. Can't go wrong with Chris.
