Yet Another Candidate Files To Run For Francesconi's Council Seat
Checking up on the official list of candidates who have filed for offices open in next year's municipal elections, we find that there is now a third officially-filed candidate for the seat being vacated by Jim Francesconi as he runs for mayor.
One Jerry Watson, who claims in a post to his mailing list that he has "a very strong understanding of the new knowledge economy and the critical role that local government, businesses and non-profits play to attract and encourage new, sustainable, high income, clean businesses and jobs while effectively supporting existing businesses."
Watson joins Woody Broadnax, Brian H. Smith, and Jerry Watson as a filed candidate for Commissioner No. 1, to be officially joined at some point by Nick Fish and Maria Rojo de Steffey.
