Suzanne Anton appears poised to announce run for mayor

May 17th, 2011 · 86 Comments

The news release just went out that NPA Coun. Anton is going to hold a news conference tomorrow to make an “important announcement about city politics.”

This can only be the announcement that she’s running for mayor, which I’ve been hearing about via various sources for the last two days. Some say she’s been arm-twisted into it because the NPA has been unable to convince anyone else to run. (Unlike COPE, where sacrificial lambs would duly put their names up as mayoral candidate back in the pre-Vision days knowing that slaughter lay ahead, apparently potential NPA candidates do not feel the same sense of duty to be cannon fodder.)

However, that’s all just speculation and others are saying Suzanne is happily jumping into the fray, not being pushed. More news tomorrow on what she outlines as the main issues. My guesses: the Olympic village, the handling of the bike lanes (though not bike lanes themselves), and arrogance at city hall. Those are the obvious targets.
