Democratic Town Committee Chairman Dan Russo is confident that the party will have a candidate to run in the upcoming mayor election. Democratic candidate Ron Klattenberg dropped out of the race this morning because of medical issues.
"There are currently a couple of people evaluating considering a run for mayor," Russo said in a phone interview this morning. "We hope, in the next month, to get a candidate up and running."
"We're very sorry that Ron is not going to run," Russo said. "Ron helped us by getting off to an early start, but we'll have plenty of time to get another campaign in place. And Ron will run for Common Council again and will be active in supporting the Democratic mayoral candidate who does decide to run."
Mayor Sebastian Giuliano said he thought Klattenberg had made the correct decision.
"I was looking forward to the race," Giuliano said. "But Ron had made the right move, and made the more important decision to make sure he stays healthy."
When asked whether he thought he would be running unopposed, Giuliano said that he was sure the Democrats would field a candidate for the race.
I'll run. I'm a 28 year-old school teacher (working out of town). Will anyone vote for me?
ReplyDeletePlease don't forget that there is another candidate running. Perhaps not that well known nor a major party member but still a partcipant in the race. It doesn't always and only have to be dem. or rep. This is America after all.
