Two throw hat in ring for 8th Ward City Council seat Park Board Commissioner Marie Hauser is throwing her hat in the ring for the 8th Ward City Council seat in the 2005 election, as is former 9th Ward City Council aide Jeffrey Hayden.
The 8th Ward has no incumbent due to redistricting. Robert Lilligren currently represents the ward, but the new boundaries put the Phillips resident in the new 6th Ward with fellow incumbent Dean Zimmermann. The new 8th Ward is largely east of I-35W, but encompasses about 60 percent of Southwest's Kingfield neighborhood. Hauser has lived in the Central neighborhood since 1980, she said. She works as a mental health nurse and has served one four-year term on the Park Board. Like Hauser, Hayden lives east of the highway in the Bryant neighborhood. He is vice-chair of Bryant's neighborhood group, chair of the City of Lakes Community Land Trust and former head of the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association. This is his first run for office. Until last year, Hayden served as aide to 9th Ward Councilmember Gary Schiff and now works for Minnesota Supportive Housing Consortium providing direct service to disabled people with Section 8 certificates, helping them find decent housing, he said. Hauser and Hayden made the rounds at the March 2 precinct caucuses to promote their candidacies. Hauser's initial campaign flyer outlines three goals: saving the Neighborhood Revitalization Program, keeping neighborhoods livable and keeping schools alive. http://www.swjournal.com/articles/2004/03/18/news/news04.txt Posted by Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm REMINDERS: 1.
