What's To Come

Well, now that the Super Bowl is over (Great job Colts!) it is time to get back to politics. I thought I would start with the news that you should expect to see on the blog within the next few months. Here it is:

1) The Municipal Election is just about nine months away. Expect change in the city based on the outcome of this election. Many races will be closely watched. They are:

• The Mayor - It all depends on who Boughton runs against (if it is who many think, than it will be a great, close, competitive race to watch).




• The City Clerk - Jean Natale barely survived the election two years ago, and the Democrats will target her to capture the seat. They will try to do what they did with the Town Clerk's race last election.




• The Common Council - Currently there are fourteen Republicans and seven Democrats on the Council. Democrats gained three seats in 2005 and expect them to gain more this year. Watch wards currently held by Republicans, and watch the Council-At-Large races because there is only one Democrat out of all of them.

2) The 2008 election will begin playing a big role with candidates emerging for different races. They include:

• President - This is going to be fun!




• Congress - especially the Republican nominee for the second and fifth district & the Democratic nominee for the fourth district (I heard some interesting news on that one - more to come).




• State Senate & State Rep. - depending on who runs for other races will determine if anyone runs for these.

Expect big analysis on these elections in the months to come. For the 2007 election this is you political resource for inside looks at all the local races. Come back often to see what's going on with the election, and the news around our city.
