Madison City Commission: Four Candidates Confirmed

Four is the magic number in our local elections so far: the Madison City Finance Office confirms that four citizens have filed to run for the two open seats on the Madison City Commission. Your official candidates (in the order listed by the Finance Office):
  • Monica Campbell
  • Scott Delzer
  • Kelli Brown
  • Dick Ericsson

Alas, our blue-collar potential candidate, Nick Abraham, has evidently decided that local politics are not for him this time around. A man has every right to set his priorities, but from the comments he offered in MDL's coverage of his potential candidacy last month, I got the impression he might be a good straight-talking, no-nonsense representative of a neighborhood and demographic that maybe don't get as much voice in government as they should. (And alphabetically, he would have been the perfect crown jewel on an A-B-C-D-E ballot!)

But we have four good candidates. Let's hear what they have to say about where our city (and out tax dollars!) are going. (And hey, candidates -- where are your websites?)

    Should be a good race with four quality individuals. Dick Ericsson did a fantastic job as a school board member and as president of the board. The candidates have a lot of work to do if they and the school board candidates plan to let people know their positions prior to April 8th. Of course, we'll have an opportunity to quiz them during the Candidate Forum which should be coming up prior to the election.

    There was an error on Nicks petition, so it was rejected.
