People's Alliance President David Harris said this week he intends to run for a city council seat this fall."I'm going to let them beat me up again," he said.
Harris, a software engineer and past president of the InterNeighborhood Council, finished fourth in the 2007 runoff for three at-large council positions.
In that race, he trailed third-place finisher Farad Ali 12,609 votes to 13,652. Ali is one of two incumbents who have announced they will seek re-election this year.
Councilman Eugene Brown is the other. Councilwoman Diane Catotti has said she will not run for a third term.
Former Durham Public Schools Board member Steve Schewel has also said he intends to run for city council. John Tarantino, unsuccessful former candidate for city council, school board and state house, is considering a run but said last week he has not made a definite decision.
