Pagan candidate wins race in New York

Halloran beats Kim in council race

The Republican candidate for the District 19 City Council won with a lot less money and endorsements primarily because his Democrat opponent slung a lot of mud, and there was a voter backlash. One of the things the opponent attacked was Dan Halloran's Paganism. Halloran apparently is a reconstructionist Pagan, a part of Théodism, which is related to Ásatrú, rather than a Neo-Pagan or Wiccan, which I find a little refreshing, as I identify with reconstructionists myself. I found out about Halloran's victory on the Hellenion list, which is run by the Greek Pagan religious group of that name.
