Kati Moulton has at least one challenger for her Ward 2 seat. I have previously reported she was running for re-election. She made an announcement but she has not turned in any forms, yet.
I have been checking in regular with City of Eureka Assistant Manager and Clerk Pam Powell. She just confirmed that "the only signatures that I just received this morning are from Kenny Carswell in Ward 2. They are waiting to be verified."
Three people have picked up packets for Eureka Ward 4. Will Mike Munson be one of those challengers? See July 25 post.

I wanted to confirm with the City of Eureka which I did this morning. I have no idea if Carswell has or will send out a press release and if I will be included. I have reached out to him via email.
Carswell responded promptly, explained the delay and apologized. I have added the campaign press release to the post which has a quote from Will Adams, president of ACGC, Inc. (Adams Commercial General Contracting) endorsing Carswell's candidacy.
Carswell campaign press release:)
Lifelong Eureka resident Kenny Carswell has announced he is running for Eureka City Council, representing Ward 2. Carswell filed his candidate paperwork with the Eureka City Clerk’s office this morning.
“I genuinely love this community,” Carswell said. “Growing up in Ward 2, I have always felt a strong connection to the people and places that make this area unique.” He added that his goal is to be a voice for the community and residents of Ward 2 and to work to ensure the council remains objective and representative of its citizens.
Carswell grew up and attended school in Eureka. His current civic activities include serving as a Rotarian and a member of the Humboldt County Workforce Development Board.
“I have actively supported my community and wish to be a voice that truly represents the community and residents of Ward 2,” Carswell said. “I will work to ensure the council remains objective and representative of all its citizens.”
Will Adams, president of ACGC, Inc. (Adams Commercial General Contracting), said, “I have known Kenny Carswell for some time and think he will make an excellent addition to the Eureka City Council. As Eureka hopes to grow and redevelop, we are going to need level-headed, practical people like Kenny in positions of leadership.”
At a recent meeting of supporters, Carswell told attendees that advocating for the needs and concerns of Eureka’s residents while engaging with and listening to community members is truly important and something he genuinely values and enjoys.
Carswell’s deep love for Eureka drives his desire to serve on the council. He is passionate about making a positive impact.
“I am dedicated to prioritizing the collective voice by making decisions that correspond with the consensus of the majority. I deeply love Eureka, and it would be a privilege to represent my Ward on this council,” Carswell added.”
