No new municipal candidates file in RI, Moline, EM, Silvis
|
The post-Christmas filing deadline for some candidates in the April municipal elections passed on Wednesday with no new candidates in Rock Island, Moline, East Moline or Silvis. A new Illinois law extended the deadline -- from 5 p.m. Dec. 24 to 5 p.m. Dec. 26 -- for some April election candidates to file their petitions. The deadline mostly affected candidates for positions in local school districts, community college districts and library, park and fire districts. In municipal elections, the change only affected candidates who intend to run as independents. As of Thursday, no new candidates had filed in the four cities, according to their clerk's offices or websites. Rock Island, however, has lost one of its mayoral candidates after the Rock Island electoral board ruled on Dec. 19 that Paula Rummels would not appear on the April 9 ballot. Ronald Day, a retired Rock Island resident, challenged Ms. Rummels' nomination papers, alleging she had not collected enough eligible signatures.Ms. Rummels has said she plans to request a judicial review of the electoral board's decision in Rock Island County Circuit Court. Write-in candidates have until Feb. 7, 2013, to file a declaration of intent with the respective city clerk. Candidates Moline: Mayor: Scott Raes, currently 3rd Ward alderman 2nd Ward: Incumbent David Parker Jr. 4th Ward: Dick Brown 6th Ward: Incumbent Kevin Schoonmaker At-Large: Incumbent Stephanie Acri, Ron Miller Rock Island: Mayor: Incumbent Dennis Pauley, David Levin and Rick Cassini 1st Ward: Incumbent Terry Brooks and Ivory Clark 3rd Ward: Incumbent Paul Foley 5th Ward: David McAdam, Margie Mejia-Caraballo, Katie Hotle and Anthony Heddlesten 7th Ward: Incumbent Charles Austin East Moline: Mayor: Incumbent John Thodos City Clerk: Incumbent Arletta Holmes City Treasurer: Incumbent Tony Banaszek 1st Ward: Incumbent Helen Heiland 3rd Ward: Incumbent Jeff Stulir 4th Ward: Incumbent Ed DeJaynes 5th Ward: Humberto Aguilar 7th Ward: Incumbent Gary Westbrook Silvis: Mayor: Tom Conrad City clerk: Incumbent Jim Nelson City treasurer: Diana Kahley 1st Ward:Incumbent Robert T.
