Monday Morning Mayoral Musings

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Although 2010 is a few days away, it never hurts to take a sneak peak at 2011 and the Indianapolis Mayor’s race. Here’s what I’ve heard so far.

Brian Williams has put together what could be considered the first political ad of the season.

Melina Kennedy is touting another Union endorsement, that makes two if you’re counting.

Expect a formal announcement soon from Jose Evans on his candidacy.

I hear former Lt. Governor and Indianapolis City Controller Kathy Davis may be getting in the race.

Contrary to some wishful thinking,  7th District Congressman Andre Carson is NOT endorsing any Mayoral candidates anytime soon.

Someone out there is polling for Mayor on the Democratic side.  Not sure who it is, but I’ll find out.  The results should be interesting.

And speaking of polling, incumbent Greg Ballard is polling about 50-percent in the African-American community, a key constituency for Democrats.
