Tarantino mulls another run

Bookmark and Share

After an unsuccessful run for city council in 2009 and for the Durham Public Schools board last year, Republican John Tarantino (right) is thinking about trying again.

But he won’t say what for. Durham voters will elect a mayor and three at-large city council members this fall.

“As of tomorrow,” Tarantino said this morning, “I will be meeting with an attorney to form an exploratory committee regarding … this upcoming election.

“If I should run.”

The exploration, he said, would involve, “what kinds of issues will be of importance, what will our priorities be and what will be the structure of the campaign organization.

“It’s very preliminary.”
