Saw Humboldt Bay Division 4 Harbor Commissioner and hot dog afficiando Richard Marks having lunch with Matthew Owen.
I quipped, "Matt, I am going to post that you are running for Eureka City Council." It has been a running joke. I added, if he did Richard would be his campaign manager. The latter part I am serious about
because it is a given.
Matthew was non committal. He said, "he was considering it" and I would have to wait and see if he files paperwork.
Richard said, there is a rumor/talk that someone in Heidi Messner's ward is considering running and I would be that person's campaign manager.
Guess we will find out soon if this was just another regular Marks/Owen lunch and their keeping the running gag alive or if Matthew is serious.
Matthew rolled his eyes at Richard telling me the campaign slogan, " Matt is where it's at."
In Ward 2, Dorothy Jager Wentworth has filed a form 501 and in the 4th Ward Liza Welsh has completed a form 501.
City Clerk Pam Powell said Matthew has not contacted her or filed any FPPC forms indicating that he was interested in raising money.

I believe that Matt is in the third ward so he wouldn't be running until 2022.
