Michelle Niemeyer throws her hat in the ring

Village Council chair, Michelle Niemeyer, filed with the City today to run for the District 2 Commission seat, now held by Marc Sarnoff.

This makes three in the race now, as we reported last week, Kate Callahan, also on the Village Council, also filed.


What's ironic about this is that at the last Village Council meeting, Michelle and Kate were put up for the position of chairman, but Kate said that she declined so that she could put all her efforts toward the campaign for District 2 Commission seat, while Michelle feels that she can chair the Village Council and also run her election for Commissioner.

Our County Commissioner Carlos Gimenez is interested in being County Mayor, since there is a recall election and a seat might open if Carlos Alvarez needs to step down. So Gimenez's seat will be open. Rumors are going around that City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff is interested in running for that seat, but Sarnoff told me last week that he was running for reelection for his City Commission seat.

The County recall election is March 15, the City Commission election is in November. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy year.
