This might be unpopular, but I’m not sure how being the mother of a victim is a qualification to be mayor. I’m not saying changes in the police force aren’t needed but being a mayor isn’t a single issue position.
That’s not what qualifies her. She works at the local newspaper. She knows what is going on in the community. That is what qualifies her. That she also has an agenda to improve things because of the loss she went through is secondary, but still important.
Are you going to make us list all the politicians who have zero qualifications now? Like a certain Congress woman with barely a GED? It seems the only qualification Republicans require these days is to not give a shit about anyone else.

The qualification barrier is extremely low. Virtually anyone can run for mayor.
