Sixteen people have filed to run for the three city-wide council seats in Killeen. Some of them have name recognition and strong backing across district lines. I'd put Jonathan Okray and Jim Butler in that category. Others may be hoping for a boost from their association with the military, the school system or local business.
It's going to take a lot of sorting to determine which three of these 16 should represent the city as a whole. Today's article in the KDH (http://www.kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=64871) doesn't help much. This no slam at the reporter, Sean Wardwell: he did well to get quotes from all of the candidates. But the information in the article is pretty much useless to people trying to find the right three candidates.
I'm going to try to meet each of the sixteen candidates and talk to them. If a candidate gives me permission, I will publish my notes of the conversation here. If you have questions that you think I should ask a particular candidate, or all candidates, please let me know what they are.
