"RACINE — A second mayoral hopeful has announced that he will indeed be running to unseat Racine Mayor John Dickert next spring.
"After publicly stating that he was contemplating a bid for the office, the Rev. Melvin Hargrove told The Journal Times on Friday evening that he has filed his declaration of candidacy papers and is officially a contender.
"Hargrove, the pastor of Zoe Outreach Ministries, 2310 Racine St., and a Racine Unified School Board member since 2008, said he decided to follow through on his desire to run after 'much conversation and counsel' with trusted advisers.
"If elected Hargrove said he would put most of his focus on partnering with nonprofits, the faith community, schools and local businesses to help serve and develop the people of Racine in order to make both them and their city more attractive to employers and others."
