Election aftermath...

Much talk already about potential candidates in future Lake Worth elections. Ricardo Rodriguez Jr. entered this as his status this morning on Facebook: "I will run for Lake Worth City District Commissioner 4." He attended Dave Vespo's gathering at the Cottage last Tuesday night and was disappointed with the results.

I understand that Tom Ramiccio announced that he was running for Mayor against Cara Jennings next year at the Awards Luncheon on Friday. Cara Jennings is rumored to be considering a run for Mayor. Apparently there is a lot of back and forth between Jo Ann Golden and Cara about that - Jo Ann thinking that she might run. I have heard that Cara thinks she is doing just fine where she is. Jo Ann Golden is the current District #3 commissioner who at Commissioner Mulvehill's swearing in meeting talked about a unanimous City Commission. Jeff Clemens is apparently talking with his people (are there any left?) and isn't sure if he will run again.

If Cara runs for Mayor, that leaves the District #2 seat open. If that happens, then four seats may be up next November. Who would she find to run for the empty seat?

In District #1, Retha Lowe has said she is not interested in running again, but sometimes says that she likes it and may attempt to stay on. Dan Winkel has expressed interest in running and there are others active that live in the district that would put up a challenge.

And then we have the question about what I will do - District #3, Mayor, apply to stay on the CRA or...?

What other names qualify as "persons of interest" in your book? Feel free to comment.
