Former Northeast City Council member Kenny Anderson Jr. will be announcing his decision on running for 2018 Sioux Falls Mayoral Election. The announcement will be made at the Bakery located at 910 North Main Ave. Sioux Falls, SD at 6 pm March 31, 2017; Public welcome.
Best of luck to you Mr. Anderson. Many headwinds for sure.
Finally, a few good candidates are announcing. I liked Andersons voting record on the council.
Is he pro-growth?
South Dacola, as you mentioned in an earlier post, that Erickson’s decision to not run for mayor in 2018 makes Entenman the next mayor, I would agree that it helps Entenman, but I think Erickson’s decision actually helps all of the establishment candidates and I question if it helps Entenman enough to win. I think at best, Entenman will eventually run a strong fourth if there are multiple candidates. And I believe this, because other establishment candidates have a stronger name ID and are not associated with the current administration, which works to their advantage.
But as to Anderson, he is sound candidate, but he and Weiland, Barth, and Hildebrand all need to have coffee and decide who is going to run as the only candidate of the four. As long as two or more of these candidates or potential candidates are in the race, then none of them will make it to the runoff election, I am afraid.
And I think in the absence of Erickson, that the two favorites within the establishment candidate field are Jamison and Costello, and frankly the heavy favorites to win it all in my estimation….
For the eight years he was a City Councilor, did you ever try to get him to return a phone call?
Good Luck.
Greg jamison is to announce in may
When it comes to Para and Sam, Kenny is the major voice in the room I will listen to. Kenny Anderson? Jeff Barth? Too close to call. Entenman? No.
anon, Kenny always called me back or answered his phone when I called.
EC – I was being EXTREMELY cynical about my Erickson’s Comments. Whether she ran or not, Diamond Jim will come in a solid #2.
You are right, Kenny and Jeff need to duke it out. Jeff is still deciding and hasn’t really committed yet.
Greg jamison all the way
Getting elected mayor has become like CEO of Microsoft. Due to Strong Mayor Charter, it’s the fastest way to become a multimillionaire via bid rigging and accepting bribes. Huether proved it. Unfortunately, he also ruined city bond rating and overestimated sales tax revenue. The next mayor will spend his time recovering from the damage caused by the worst mayor in Sioux Falls history. No matter who gets elected, they’ll not be popular. There’s now no way to support infrastructure. New public projects like Huether splurges will not be possible. Why run?
I like Jamison and Anderson. Don’t know Barth but he has an honest public image. Erickson is another Hillary pantsuit. She’s passive and not a leader. I can’t stand Entenman but I’ll vote for him if he’s foolish enough to accept the unrecoverable failure of the Huether reign.
if diamond jim gets elected, will he continue to spend like a drunken biker?
I see someone is preparing to hit the campaign trail with MMM;
