Champaign Municipal Election Preview

 
An update on who's in so far (petitions are still be circulated, more information on that here) from today's News-Gazette:

No surprises where the 2019 Champaign municipal election is concerned: Mayor Deb Feinen and at-large city council members Tom Bruno, Matt Gladney and Will Kyles all turned in their petitions to run for re-election on Monday, the first day of the filing period.

The latter three will have competition. Also declaring their at-large candidacy were former 32-year council member Michael LaDue, who lost his District 2 re-election bid last year, and newcomer Jon Paul Youakim.

Other candidates who are attempting to join the fray so far include Elizabeth Sotiropoulos for school board and Kenton Elmore for city council. In that same News-Gazette article Pattsi Petrie is listed as thinking about entering the Champaign City Council race. She lost a primary fight on the County Board this year.
