Are the Republicans fielding a candidate for Mayor of Youngstown in 2013?

I would like to see either someone from the GOP, a minor party, or an independent candidate on the ballot...
the mayor's race should not be decided by a party primary in May.

And the blind leading the blind keeps the inept in office.
I can't wait till I don't have to vote for Youngstown's next Mayor when I vacate the hood and move into a normal and safe community.

With so many tossing their bowler's (English for Derby hat) into the ring whoever ultimately gets the nod will get it with a low percentage of the total vote.

There may be three candidates now, but the Democratic Party Chair will no doubt pick the candidate and there will be only one
name on the ballot by primary day.....

Having an independent candidate for mayor is highly unlikely.  An independent candidate would not have an organizational structure for support and would probably have to collect far more nominating signatures than the two major parties' candidates.  The election system is stacked against an independent candidate for any office.

Some residents? 
Kidd wants to be Mayor.  His groupies are just following his wishes.  He as the others are unqualified and has no track record in anything significant.

Please sir, share with us your infinite wisdom and tell us who would get you so stirred up as mayor that you would be enticed to move back to Youngstown.

PK is an independent voter.  If he chooses to run for an office as an Independent candidate, he would not have to run in the primary where the Democratic candidates (and Republicans if there were any) would slug it out.

maggy lorenzi the ind canditate in 2005 gave williams and hagen a run for thier money when it came to the acknowledgement to the city day to day operations. she stumpped them many times during the several debates in the q/a periods during the general elections when she had to correct them on thier half baked answers.

if you are talking about the 2013 possible candidates. come let us see, brown looking the other way as a mycap board member when roller, the director was stealing thousands of dollars or jm was cty com faxing(253) the cafaro corp info concerning the old ss hospital during the purchasing of the hospital. are these such  accomplishments we should be proud of for mayoral material?

Towntalk,
I'm impressed and humbled that you wish my decision to vacate Youngstown be reversed.  It is the lack of serious true Mayoral leadership which has motivated me to flee Youngstown.......not to mention a gun literally to my head.
Concerning the Wick mansion for sale.........I hope I do not exude a taste of luxury in my selection of an abode?
Thank you for the thought.

The Truth Be Told

The politicians in Youngstown, from top to bottom are nothing more nor less than so many maggots crawling over the bloated and putrefied carcass of a once proud city, and the stench is enough to make a decent God fearing citizen gag.

None of the current gaggle of political maggots has the best interest of the city, and sadly, that's not likely to change any time soon, and the sooner we get our heads out of the fluffy clouds, and see things as they are, and not what we would like them to be, the better we'll all be.

Get rid of all the roaches in city and county government, and we'll see real recovery.
