Will the mystery candidate please step forward for the District 9 school board seat?
Joe Ciulla, a member of the steering committee for Wake Schools Community Alliance, said they have agreed on an endorsement for the District 9 seat that includes much of Cary. But he said they're not announcing the endorsement until that person announces his/her candidacy.
This means the endorsement won't be going to Ray Martin, a Chapel Hill teacher, or Lois Nixon, an environmental educator. Both have announced their plans to run for the school board.
In fact, Martin filed with the Wake County Board of Elections on Monday. Nixon has until noon July 17 to file.
The District 9 seat is now held by Eleanor Goettee, who is not seeking a second term.
Aside from this unnamed District 9 candidate, WSCA has endorsed Chris Malone in District 1 and Deborah Prickett in District 7. Ciulla, who is on the group's vetting committee, said no decision has been made about the District 2 race.
