The list of election candidates for Thunder Bay City Council continues to grow.

Former CBC radio broadcaster Gerald Graham, along with Bay and Algoma Business Association president Norm Sponchia have filed their nomination papers to run in the at-large race.

There are now 13 people running for the five at-large seats on city council. And there will be a race in the Westfort ward as former city police officer John Radl is challenging incumbent councillor Joe Virdiramo for the seat.

The deadline for nominations is Friday at 2 p.m.

Gerald Graham!? I'm pumped! Where did he come from? Didn't see that coming. Finally, someone I can vote for.

The only problem is, I have nobody I can vote in for mayor. Hobbs is the closest, but how do you trust a police union boss to reign in spending? Seriously!

Its definitely going to be exciting... heard rumblings that Boschoff didn't run for mayor because of Hobbs.

Many people can and will most definitely "trust" Hobbs there steven. Not all are like you believe that spending needs to be reigned in.
