The municipal election slate is getting crowded.
Three more candidates have officially put their names in, and a longtime radio broadcaster has sent media an email indicating he plans to enter the at-large race, making it a 12-person challenge.
Gerald Graham, who hosted CBC Radio’s afternoon program Voyage North, is expected to file his papers later this week. The filing deadline is Friday at 2 p.m.
He’ll be joining Darren Roberts, who submitted his nomination papers on Tuesday.
Thunder Bay Community Foundation executive director Paul Wolfe, meanwhile, has thrown his hat into the Red River Ward fray, taking on incumbent Brian Mckinnon and newcomer Jay Stapleton.
In Westfort, Joe Virdiramo finally has some competition. John Radl filed his papers on Tuesday, making it a two-horse race.
Also on Tuesday, Coun. Frank Pullia said he plans to file later this week, but isn’t sure what he might be filing for, leading to speculation he may run for mayor, taking a second crack at Lynn Peterson, who handily beat him in 2003.
Also in the running are Keith Hobbs, Jeff Irwin and Brian Kwasny.
