Another GOP Candidate for Mayor

In a letter to local Republican committee people, former General Manager of WSYR-TV Steve Kimatian has announced that he is a candidate for Mayor of Syracuse. This pits him against Otis Jennings for the party designation and makes him the second Republican to officially join the race. An excerpt from his letter:

“With over 25 years experience as a successful business executive, currently as General Counsel and earlier as General Manager of WSYR-TV, Channel 9, the ABC affiliate here in Syracuse, I believe my experience can be a key asset to building our city and our party. I have also been deeply involved with civic and charitable organizations in Central New York.

I know we can win this race. I believe I will be able to attract the financial resources to wage a successful campaign. In addition, you can be sure of one thing – I will work day and night to carry our party’s message to every corner of this community.”

At least he wasn’t the General Manager of WTVH-TV, Channel 5.
