Oh yes, we'll be out there Thursday, covering the advent of the third official candidate in the 2007 race for Mayor! Former UnitedHealthcare CEO Tom Knox will announce his candidacy at noon at the across from the Abbotsford Homes housing project in East Falls where he grew up.
From the press release:
Knox will be joined by his family, Reverend Reginald Johnson of Zion Hill Baptist Church, Michael Keeley, a retired fire fighter and childhood friend, and Nancy Stringer-Hart, another childhood friend.
Immediately following the announcement, Knox will join Keeley in a visit to his old fire station in East Falls. Later in the evening, Knox will greet voters at the Frankford Terminal station and ride the train to the Loews Hotel in Center City for a fundraising reception with supporters.
Knox will make this formal announcement following a prayer breakfast at Sharon Baptist Church.

Anyone care to take a guess at what Knox's speech will focus on?

How are you doing Mr.Knox, i was just wondering if you are really from East Falls, because Gov Ed Randel is and it would be cool if to of our Mayors were from my neighborhood, and I just thought you were, but Good luck in your race as mayor, hopefully you will come out winning, I wish I was actually old enough to VOTE, you would have my vote, Either you Or Michael Nutter. But if you are from my neighborhood you will defferently have my vote. Good luck with everything.
