- Status: **Filed**
- Petition pages filed: 171. Petition pages is the number on the last page of the candidate's petition, from the Board's receipt. It isn't a signature count: each page holds a limited number of signatures, not every line is filled, and the Board checks how many are valid only if someone objects. Candidates for this office need at least 473 valid signatures.
- Signatures (our count): 1,615, on 171 signature sheets. Signatures (our count) is the number of filled-in signature lines we counted on every sheet of the petition copy the Board provided, leaving out lines that were crossed out. It isn't the Board's count of valid signatures: some may be duplicates or from voters outside the ward, and the Board checks that only if someone objects.
