Supervisor Aldean will seek re-election

Shelly Aldean, developer and broker, will run for re-election of Ward 2 city supervisor saying the city needs to help redevelop downtown, build a relationship with Douglas County and stop the spread of gangs while it still has the time.

Aldean, president of the Glenbrook Co and vice president/corporate broker for Eden Managements, was appointed as supervisor in 2003 after Supervisor Jon Plank died. She won over a water utilities technician 2004 with almost 60 percent of the vote.

No one else has announced they will run for either Ward 2 or Ward 4 supervisor, both of which have elections this year. Attorney Richard Staub said he will probably seek a third term as Ward 4 supervisor, but has not formerly announced.

Three men have announced they will run for mayor.

Candidates can begin filing for the election May 5.
