Rumor was that Helena Abrantes was a likely candidate for City Clerk, but she has shown that she has her eyes on something bigger. Eileen Coladarci, who ran for City Clerk last time, is also said to be a possible candidate. Jean Natale barley was able to defend her seat two years ago, as she only received approximately 51% of the vote.
No big Republicans have really been rumored to be running for Town Clerk, but it is likely that one will likely emerge. Lori Kaback received many votes from Republicans last election, and her Lebanese background is definitely a plus as they tend to do very well (look at Sen. Cappiello and Councilman Saadi).
The City Treasurer race is not expected to be that competitive as of right now. Our current City Treasurer, Dan Jowdy, is well liked from both sides of the political spectrum. Don't be surprised though if the Democrats do put up a serious challenger against him. Rumor has it that they are focusing their attention mainly on the City Treasurer and City Clerk races, and trying to keep the Town Clerk race.
We have also heard that the one ward we should watch regarding the Council is the third. Currently, Republicans Joe Cavo and Michael Calandrino serve there. Cavo is the President of the Council.
We will have to wait and see which candidates emerge. Your thoughts?

Early prediction was little reasoning: Mayor stays, treas. stays, TC stays, CC loses, 1,2,4,5,6,7 wards stay. 3 split one D one R. and dems pick up two at large seats.
is cavo the republican that loses?
Not unless they can show the democratic voters how he is at city hall. I think he will win and Calandrino will lose. The mayor is probably going to campaign big for Cavo along with Basso because they are his two biggest assets in the Common Council
Jowdy is in for a real challenge. The Lebanese vote is overrated. Saadi only wins because he runs in a ward were a blind monkey could win if they are a Democrat. The only time Saadi lost was when he ran at large. Look at John Esposito. He does no campaigning in ward 4 and always outruns Saadi.
