From Racine County Eye:
By Heather Asiyanbi in Government · August 27, 2014
"Racine Alderman Edward Diehl announced Wednesday that he is running for mayor against incumbent Mayor John Dickert.
“'I am not from Racine, not Wisconsin,
not even the Midwest but my wife and I have adopted Racine as our home.
Now I am asking the taxpayers of the city of Racine to adopt me as the
next Mayor of Racine,' he told Racine County Eye.
"Diehl is originally from a Northeast Pennsylvania but has lived in
Racine for 10 years. He was elected to the city council last year and
says he was encouraged to run for the city’s highest office by
residents.
“'I have received many, many phone calls
and emails over the last four or five months and it has been humbling
and empowering,' he added.
"Diehl says he will be a servant-leader if elected, which means he
plans on connecting with as many facets of the community as possible and
leading 'through service and being an example.'”
