◼ Former prosecutor to run for DA: Candidates file elections paperwork to begin fundraising - Thadeus Greenson/The Times-Standard
A retired prosecutor has filed paperwork with the Humboldt County Elections Office announcing his intent to run for district attorney in 2014.
Arnold Klein, who retired from the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office in January 2012 at the age of 69, filed a candidate intention statement with the elections office on Monday, Elections Manager Kelly Sanders confirmed.
”This is something that allows candidates to go out and start raising money,” Sanders said of the intention statement, which is the first step toward forming candidate committees and fundraising.
Sanders said several incumbent candidates have also filed statements indicating their intention to seek re-election....
Sanders said 5th District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg and 4th District Supervisor Virginia Bass have both filed candidate intention statements indicating they plan to seek re-election next year. Humboldt County Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District Division 5 Commissioner Richard Marks has also filed paperwork indicating he intends to seek re-election in November of this year, Sanders said.
Sanders said the filing period for candidates to officially file a declaration of candidacy to seek election in November 2014 begins in March.
