Another candidate joins crowded city Council District 9 race

Another candidate joins crowded city Council District 9 race A third challenger to City Councilwoman Twanda Carlisle emerged yesterday, as K. Chase Patterson, 23, of North Point Breeze announced plans to join what is shaping up to be a crowded field.
How do these journalist count? The lead says a THIRD challenger. Humm.

In no particular order:

K. Chase Patterson

Rachel Cooper

Ricky Burgess

Ora Lee Carroll

Judith Ginyard


Why the blind spot in the math?

In my race on March 14, 2006, there were NINE on the ballot. But, we were not working to take down an incumbent council member.

I don't know what the question is: as of Sunday, January 14, there are three ANNOUNCED candidates to challenge Ms. Carlisle, and they are:

K. Chase Patterson

Rachel Cooper

Ricky Burgess

No one else has officially announced their candidacy. That's three. I've noted as much in my newscasts over the weekend.

Ora Lee Carroll stood before city council and said that she was a candiate. It was a public comment. I was there.

However, that is NOT a political announcement with press release and contact information. The new kid may have even filed some sort of paperwork. Carroll has NOT.

Semantics are semantics. Yes, in the paper she said she was going to run; however, that is not yet a political declaration. Someone could offer her a sweetheart political deal and all of a sudden, she's not running.

Remember, Mike Dawida said he was running for Mayor, now of course he's involved with that new high school program.

There's a difference in what she said and political reality.
