Newcastle resident Mark Greene announced that he will run for a City Council position in the upcoming election.
“The importance of keeping our unique stature as a city is a major reason of why I decided to run, though not the only,” he said in a statement. “If elected to the council this year, I will focus on infrastructure, safety and environmental issues.”
Greene will file for position No. 6 on the council, which is currently occupied by Councilman Bill Erxleben. In the April Newcastle News, Erxleben announced that he will not file for re-election.
Election Day is Nov. 5. The deadline for candidates to file for election is May 17.

Nice article, but anybody who runs for Newcastle City Council has to be a resident of the city and a citizen, so I hope the adjectives for my candidacy will be as informed as those for my opponent. I am the founder of the Party of Commons and Democracy in Election Process. In short, helping citizens with govermental and civic affairs.
