Newcomer Considers Run at Joplin Council Seat

Erik Wright, a Joplin resident and MSSU graduate, has picked up a nominating petition for the Joplin City Council.  He makes the fourth person (and first non-incumbent) to be actively considering one of 5 open council seats in Joplin. 

According to an interview with the Joplin Globe, "(Wright) is interested in working on two specific projects if he were elected: redevelopment, and increased access to the Sunshine Lamp Trolley."

Three incumbents — Gary Shaw, Michael Seibert and Mike Woolston — have picked up nominating petitions.

As earlier commented on this blog, inclumbents Gary Shaw, Michael Seibert and Mike Woolston have already picked up their petitions and intend to run again.  Phil Stinnett and Jim West, the two remaining incumbents, has not year announced their intentions.
