Robbie Perkins to file Thursday
It's been rumored for months, but former District 3 rep Robbie Perkins called a little while ago with the official word: He's running for Greensboro City Council for one of three at-large seats.
Perkins, who served from 1993 to 2005, said he's ready to return after a two-year break.
Hope he's ready to campaign. He'll face at least 10 candidates, including Councilwoman Sandra Anderson Groat, who was the top at-large vote-getter in 2005 (her first-ever election). I say "at least" because filing doesn't end until noon Friday.
Six people will move past the primary and three will win on Nov. 6.
Let's see ...
Recall on Aug. 21
Primary on Oct. 9 (as of today, for at-large, District 1 and District 3)
Election on Nov. 6
No shortage of work this fall.
