The 2010 Election Season Opens Soon

In 7 days, the 2010 election season officially opens. July 1st is the first day candidates can file for office for 2010. I have compiled an unofficial list below of rumored, confirmed and unconfirmed candidates. When I say rumored, I mean for the most part that it is an open secret that I have heard it from numerous people. Names that I have heard about in private, have not been listed, so you are not seeing any “inside” information. If I missed anyone, please let me know and I will update the list. Thanks.
