Deadline day for candidates

Today is the last day for candidates for the City election on March 8th to turn in their mandated 500 voter petition signatures in order to be included on the ballot.

Many candidates are going to fail this step. A few will succeed, though.

Tomas O'Grady made it on the ballot, so Tom LaBonge has to defend against two candidates for his job.

Althea Shaw made it on the ballot in CD 10. Congrats to her.

I have heard from David Barron that he plans to turn his in today. I wish him luck.
