Looks like Dean ‘No Goats’ Karsky is throwing his hat in the ring. He will make his second attempt at trying to actually garner a majority of the citizen’s votes.
Candidates can begin to take out petitions starting Friday. But any candidate can file a interest of organization and financial statement right now. Jamison and Karsky already have. I have also heard from both individuals, Anderson and Staggers that they are running. So that gives us three incumbents and one previous councilor.
There is a lot of things I dislike about our local government, but I really do enjoy covering campaigns, forums and debates.
UPDATE: Andy Traub sent me this yesterday;
I will be on KSOO Thursday from 4:30-5:30 to talk about what motivates people to run for office and what the people want from their representatives. Should be interesting. I may run, I may not. I just want to hear what people want before I run. I have a lot of respect  for how Rick and Ruth run their show so that’s why I am starting there. I’d love to start that discussion in the blogosphere as well so use this news however you want. I think Sioux Falls needs some new faces to represent the city. If I run it’ll be a very different kind of campaign, I promise.
I am assuming if Andy runs, it will be for the At-Large seat, since I think he lives in the Central District.
