(WGTD)---Candidates are starting to line up to replace Racine Mayor Cory Mason who announced last week that he won't seek reelection when his term ends in spring.
The director of the city's Community Safety Department--John Tate--announced Thursday that he will formally launch a campaign next month. Tate is a former alderman with a social services background who once served as chair of the Wisconsin Parole Commission.
He joins police officer Gabby Hood, student Isaiah Lambert, former city council candidate Xavier Golden and Racine County Board Supervisor Valena Coleman. Others are expected.
The filing deadline for nomination papers is Jan. 5th.
