Shoreline Council candidate Scully becomes third possible challenger to Eggen

By Evan Smith

Shoreline City Council candidate Keith Scully has declared that he intends to run for the position that Councilman Chris Eggen now holds.

Scully, a member of the Shoreline Planning Commission, joins Jessica Cafferty and Ginny Scantlebury as candidates for the position. All three had registered with the state public disclosure commission as candidates. But until last week, Scully had not indicated what position he intended to seek. Eggen still has yet to disclose whether he would run for a third four-year term.

Filing with the public disclosure commission allows candidates to raise and spend money for the August primary and November general election.

Candidates file for ballot position May 11-15. Positions with three or more candidates appear on the Aug. 4 primary ballot, with the two leading candidates in the primary qualifying for the Nov. 3 general-election ballot. Positions with only one or two candidates appear only on the November ballot.

Councilwoman Doris McConnell has registered with the PDC as a candidate for a third term, with no announced opponent.

Councilman Jesse Salomon has registered with the PDC as a candidate for a second term. Challenger Lorn Richey also has registered.
