The whole field is open. Pick who you'll run \u2014 read their strengths and weaknesses, then claim them. First to claim a candidate gets them, so don't wait too long.
Meet the field. One open seat — then we find out who can run this city. Each of you has a private briefing on your phone.
Every manager is deciding what their campaign actually says — on the three fights that define this race. Run on who your candidate is and the base believes you. Bend toward the center to widen your map, and you spend authenticity you won't get back.
Six endorsers are in play. Managers are secretly spending political capital to court them. Best-aligned bidder wins each — a tie means the endorser stays neutral and nobody gets it.
The candidate in last place is behind, but the race isn't over for them. They can stay in and fight to the finish, throw their support behind a rival, or bow out. Their call.
The final push. Every manager spends their war chest on a closing blitz — placing their pushes across the city one last time. Bigger war chests buy more. Read the race and make your stand.
