I meant to get this up earlier, but I suppose it’s not a huge surprise to anybody who follows city politics.

In an interview a few days back, Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said he expects to run for reelection, but won’t make a formal announcement any time soon.

“I won’t make a final decision on that or an announcement on that until after Labor Day,” he said. “I love the job, I’m having a good time, obviously there’s a lot of interesting stuff to work on. High-speed rail, RTA, some of the other stuff we’ve been working on.”

“But it’s a little far out, it’s 11 months away,” he continued. “I don’t want to make that decision with any certainty this far out.”

Only rumors so far on who may run against him, so speculate away!
