A second Tovo challenger introduces herself
Monday, August 6, 2018 by Jack Craver
Linda O’Neal, who in early July announced plans to challenge Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo for the District 9 seat on City Council, will be holding a “Meet the Candidate” event at the Mohawk on Tuesday, Aug. 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. O’Neal is the third candidate in the race and has a lot of catching up to do. Another challenger, Danielle Skidmore, declared her candidacy in March and had raised over $47,000 by June 30, while Tovo raised just under $42,000. On her campaign website O’Neal describes affordability as her top goal, and she said that she would support CodeNEXT, the revamp of the land development code that has been sidelined.
