An excerpt...
"Could former Republican mayoral candidate Sam Katz be planning a run for the office as an independent this fall?
Katz recently changed his voter registration from Republican to Independent, preserving that possibility under the state election code.
"I wouldn't read too much into it," Katz said of the registration change in a brief telephone interview yesterday, declining to discuss the subject further.
There's been speculation recently that a victory by businessman Tom Knox in the May 15 Democratic mayoral primary would leave many Democrats looking for an alternative, opening the door for a viable independent candidacy.
The state election code prohibits someone from running as an independent in the general election if he or she is registered as a member of a party 30 days before the primary or later.
Though he changed his registration in time to preserve that possibility, a source close to Katz said it's highly unlikely he would run this year." |
