Other citizens who have pulled petitions include:
Edward Fitzgerald
Michael Dever
Daniel Shields
Keith Ludwig
There are others out there who have petitions but did not leave their names with the Board of Elections. I have also heard that Tony George will be fielding a few candidates. This should be an exciting race, especially with multiple candidates. I left off the political affiliations because we are a non-partisan city. I believe we should keep our focus on issues, personalities, and work ethic. Those are the things that contribute to an effective or ineffective city council.

Good call; I made the change.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Ryan Patrick Demro is running for an at-large seat?

DL,
Good question, but why would he ever do a thing like that? I have heard that he really likes his Ward II seat and is content to stay in place. Although, anything can happen in politics :)

Hmmm....
A non-answer if I ever saw one.
I've heard several reasons.
When I last saw the Councilman, he appeared to be engaged in some sort of "green" study and I couldn't ask him.
Green Study?

DL,
Green study? Was I working out in the yard?

Thanks for the heads up on this. What is the deadline for filing?

The filing deadline is July 21, 2005 at 4:00pm. Anybody who plans to run a credible campaign should file prior to that date and raise some cash.

You mean there's a residency requirement for our Councilmen? I would think that by limiting council candidates to residents, that we're missing some very qualified persons who would otherwise be willing to serve.

Ryan-
Was it Dan Shields who was in your Ward 2 race? I know Dan Brennan and Frank Murtaugh had their hats in the ring, but I simply can't remember who else ran in the last Ward 2 race.

DL,
Yes, it was me, Brennan, Shields, and Murtaugh. Rick Kansa and Joan Burda pulled petitions, but never filed them. On another note, Timothy H. Carroll is also running for the at-Large seat, look for more info on him to come. I am excited to see this many candidates, if only 5 more would file we would have a real party on our hands (a nonpartisan party of course
