Six running for John Tobin's old seat

The Jamaica Plain Gazette lists the six people running for John Tobin's city-council seat - only two of them from West Roxbury (probably because everybody else in the neighborhood is running for state rep or state senator).

Mentioned this in a tweet yesterday, and provided a link to a document from the Elections Department confirming the names (in both English and Chinese) of the five certified candidates:

Jonathan McCurdy

Help Jon “Bike Man” McCurdy run for District 6 City Council!

Tuesday, Aug. 17, 7pm to ?pm
Wednesday, Aug. 18, 7pm to ?pm
in front of JP Licks in Jamaica Plain
and
6am to ? Wednesday and Aug. 18 inside the Forest Hills MBTA station
District 6 in Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury is an open seat now that Councillor John Tobin has decided to take a job with Northeastern University. So our own Jonathan McCurdy has boldly decided to take a shot at getting bikes and livable streets on the debate agenda by running for city council!! It’s time to find out just how many cyclists out there vote with their two wheels in mind.

Sure Matt O’Malley has a wide network of support, sure he’s a good candidate for the job with plenty of experience and friends in all the right places. But think of this: Does he ride a bike everywhere every day? Is he the biggest fund raiser for Bikes Not Bombs the world has ever seen? Can he lead scenic bike rides to all points of Boston? Does he understand the importance of the Route 9 crossing???

Only Jon McCurdy can make JP the bike capital of the world!

Come join your fellow cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users at any of the times or locations above in getting enough signatures in just two days to get McCurdy on the ballot. We need only 400 or so signatures to ensure his voice is part of the debate.
