One earlier announcement needs clarification
Michael Harris was named in earlier BRACE announcements. The current coalition page names Morales, Rathwell, Severin and Wilkinson instead, and Harris was not on the City list checked September 6. His current candidacy is unconfirmed; absence from a page is not proof of withdrawal. No reliable candidate-specific biography, business disclosure or voting record was identified. [7][6][1]
