PORTLAND, Maine (Aug. 19, 2011) – Ralph Carmona, community activist and retired government affairs executive, is officially a candidate for mayor. The Portland City Clerk’s office today certified the signatures on his petition.
“I am proud to have been able to gather 500 signatures – well over the required 300 – and hand them in on the first day they were being accepted,” Carmona said.
“This is a sign that I am gathering a broad base of support for my campaign to put Portland on the rise. I think the strength of this campaign is going to surprise many people who don’t consider me a front-runner.
“I would like to thank Bud Philbrick and the staff members in the City Clerk’s office for being so prompt and polite amid what has to be a complicated election season.”
Candidates have until Aug. 29 to turn in their petitions.
It’s official!

I took a break while attending a City Council workshop on the Thompson’s Point project, and filed my candidacy papers! Looking forward to the formal announcement tomorrow — and then the real work begins.
