Meet the candidates
As Eric noted, last Friday brought us officially into the election season. In Greensboro, there weren't any real surprises.
Dianne Bellamy-Small filed again in her district, while Tom Phillips shifted over, as expected, to replace Robbie Perkins in his district. Three newcomer candidates filed; Goldie Wells and Toni Henderson in District 2 and Janet Wallace in District 4.
Rounding out the list is perennial candidate Joseph Rahenkamp Sr. A quick search of our archives found he has unsuccessfully run for local office six times since 1997 - four times for city council, once for the Guilford County Board of Commissioners and once for Kay Hagan's N.C. Senate seat.
During the election, I'll try to post as many press releases, campaign reports and miscellany as I can. To start, here's press releases from Goldie Wells and Janet Wallace.
We'll have more election filings every day in the paper (except Sunday and Monday) through the month as candidates submit their paperwork. And if you've got election news, or rumor, let me know at mwilliams@news-record.com.
