Has anyone other than Moore announced they would abide by their party endorsement?
Bill Dooley Kenny -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fwd: [Mpls] Minneapolis Third Ward Politics I am amazed at the blatant political opportunism that is currently being displayed in the 3rd Ward council race. As of yesterday at 5:00 PM 11 folks that have filed to run for the 3rd Ward city council seat. 5 of them have not listed their address. Of them Margo Ashmore, Dave Ramstad and Keri Dziedzic (who has not yet filed but has already pulled an ad in the Northeaster saying she is running) all live outside the boundaries of the 3rd ward. That means that they will need to move into the ward if any of them do make it through the Dec 30th primary. I am glad to see that the availability of housing has finally become an issue to NE politicians. tom taylor Sheridan Neighborhood In a message dated 12/6/02 2:31:26 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Margo Ashmore, publisher of North News and the Northeaster, filed for > the 3rd Ward CM seat a couple of days ago.
