Ryan goes for 2

City Council candidate Ryan Shell announced today that he will seek the nod for Dist. 2 instead of at-large. So far, Shell remains the only announced candidate for D-2. Smart move.

Shell tells GSOMetro:

"We are one step closer to doing what some call 'impossible.' By having a clear vision I firmly believe we can completely transition Greensboro in to the city we all know it can be...This campaign is about transparency (not the talking point - the actual thing), collaboration and uniting others."

It will also set up an interesting saga if School Board member Deena Hayes decides to change her mind and run. Rumors continue to swirl about her possible candidacy. She publicly denied the rumors recently, but some speculate that she may deliberately leave the door open for a possible D-2 run. We shall see.

E.C. :)
