“Athens Area Habitat for Humanity director Spencer Frye says he'll have an announcement one way or the other within the next two weeks on whether he is a candidate for Mayor. Frye has been considering a campaign to replace a term-limited Athens Mayor Heidi Davison.”

All signs point to Frye running, but the wait continues. At this point, I'm halfway expecting Pozzo and Lucky to stop by.

In other news, potential Commission District 1 candidate Sara Bickerton said her campaign is not official yet, but she is seriously considering running. Beyond the Trestle has a brief interview with her, and look for more info here as soon as I get the final word that she’s in.

Spencer Frye is not running for mayor – yet. Sure, he attended a forum for mayoral candidates in July, and he raised more than $11,000 for his potential future campaign that he’s supposedly not running right now. Because he’s not an official candidate – yet.

Come to find out, Frye consigliere Bo Mabry started a Frye for Mayor Facebook page. With almost 800 members. On which his dad wrote, “This is really great. Being mayor is a really great thing. I believe you will do a fantastic job.”

Candidates lay groundwork before publicly announcing all the time, but enough is enough! Spencer, come out of the closet!

It’s official: Spencer Frye might run for mayor next year. This note arrived in the inbox just now:
