Ragaini may run in 2nd, too

Former city Councilor Tom Ragaini said Tuesday he's also eyeing a City Council run in the 2nd District. He said he'll decide by late June, perhaps sooner.
Ragaini served as a councilor in the 3rd District until he lost a 2001 primary -- held on Sept. 11th, which made for a distracting day at the polls.
After that, his Upson Street home was shifted into the 2nd District as part of the redistricting needed after Census 2000.
Ragaini, a parks commissioner, has remained active in Democratic politics. He's well-regarded by most everyone.
At this point, two Democrats are already in the 2nd District race: incumbent Kevin McCauley and newcomer Bruce Lydem. For the Republicans, there's only Ken Cockayne so far.
