A New Candidate Enters the Race for Mayor
Now that several candidates have announced their run for mayor another candidate has decided to join the race.

John Pritchard announced his candidacy for the Mayoral seat at the WGIL studios earlier Monday.

Pritchard says his 36 years of service on different civic boards qualifies him for the job.

"I certainly paid attention to the going-on's at the city for many many years. I've had a lot of experience in service on community boards, on corporate boards so I think I've got a lot of experience that I bring to the table."

Pritchard says there are a lot of things he sees that need to be done faster and better.

Consolidated elections are in April of next year.

Full disclosure, Pritchard is an owner of this radio station.
