Less than three days after seven candidates had met the deadline for filing to run for Arcadia City Council, the group has already been reduced to six.
Tammy Woloski, the only female who applied to run, alerted ArcadiasBest.com this morning that she was informed by the City that she did not have enough qualified signatures on her application.
The City Clerk‘s office confirmed that Woloski did not have the required 20 signatures of Arcadia registered voters, who would of course need to be Arcadia residents. The six applicants who are now officially nominees for the three available Council seats in the April 13 General Election are Peter Amundson, Paul Cheng, Bob Harbicht, Jason Lee, Mark “Mickey” Segal, and Sho Tay.
Woloski, a 14-year Arcadia resident whose Japanese name is Miyamoto Sitsuka, said she would consider applying to run for Council again in two years.
