In the questionnaire we sent to all City Council candidates in the April 2 election, we asked, "If elected, what's your top priority?"

In the end, 23 of 24 candidates responded, and their answers were all over the map. But most commonly cited were two things: jobs and public safety.

Here's a short version of what each candidate said. To read their full answers to this question, and the rest of the questions we asked, check out the candidate questionnaires here.
