Six candidates have filed to run for two City Commission at-large seats in the citywide race so far for the March 2013 election, and Mayor Suzanne Atwell stands alone as the only incumbent running. Commissioner Terry Turner announced earlier this month he will not run.
Atwell kicked off her campaign officially Tuesday by filing her paperwork and hosting an event at Libby's to collect the 25 signatures needed to get her name on the ballot.
"I can't imagine not running," Atwell said.
Atwell has spent four years on the commission and two of those as mayor, which is a chairwoman/chairman post that the commission appoints each year, but Atwell said she embraced that role.
"What I have done as mayor, as ambassador to the city, you just can't measure it," she said.
