In a brief conversation with Antioch City Clerk Arne Simonsen, after filing for Antioch City Council closed at 5:00 p.m., today (Friday, August 8, 2014) he said there were seven candidates who had qualified for the ballot. There are three more people who filed their papers in the final hour, which he was processing to determine if they will qualify. “Most likely they will,” he said.

Diane Gibson-Gray – Qualified

Lori Ogorchock – Qualified

Anthony Segovia – Qualified

Tony Tiscareno – Qualified

Lamar A. Thorpe – Qualified

Steven Bado – Qualified

Karl Dietzel – Qualified

Jeffrey Hall-Cottrell – Awaiting verification of signature count

Amber Avelino – Awaiting verification of signature count

So, we could have as many as 10 candidates for the two seats that are up for election in November. Check back for the final list of qualified candidates, later tonight or tomorrow.
