More council candidates seek autumn ballot spots
by Robb Fulcher
With a week to go before the ballot is set for the November election, three candidates for Hermosa Beach City Council have handed in nomination papers to get their names before voters.
Eight more potential candidates have picked up the nomination papers from City Hall but had not handed them back in by Tuesday, according to the city clerk’s office.
Handing in the papers were two-term incumbent JR Reviczky and planning commissioners Pete Tucker and Ronald Pizer.
The others who have taken out the papers are Public Works Commissioner Michael Keegan, who made a strong run for a council seat two years ago; city school board member Mary Lou Weiss; Recreation Commissioner Robert Bell; local activist Donley Falkenstien; Thomas H. Vidal, Patrick J. Johnson; Chad M. Nell and Brian J. Murphy.
Two-term council members John Bowler, the current mayor, and Julie Oakes have announced that they are not running for reelection Nov. 6, leaving Reviczky the only incumbent seeking one of the three open council seats. ER
