Hansen will run for third term
I never updated yesterday’s blog post about Councilwoman Susan Hitchcok’s decision to step down from the council when her term expires.
Although this was reported in today’s story, I’ll post the news here too: Councilman Larry Hansen told me yesterday he’s running for a third term on the City Council.
“I’m going to run,” the former police chief and two-time mayor said. “My caveat is, things could change, but right now, I’m going to run. … I’ve been doing it for seven years. There’s still a lot of things that I hope we can accomplish as a city.”
So of the three seats up for grabs in November, we know one is wide-open, and one features an incumbent. That leaves Phil Katzakian, in his first term on the council and currently the city’s mayor, to announce his intentions.
He called me yesterday and left me a message saying he hasn’t yet made up his mind.
