With 2nd Ward Alderman Ron Franco announcing this evening that he will not seek election to the second half of his Common Council term, the city's Democrat and Republican parties both have candidates lined up for the seat already.

Anita Mullane, who has twice before ran for a seat on the Common Council — in 2005 for the 5th Ward seat and in 2009 for Alderman At Large — said this evening that she is circulating petitions for the 2nd Ward spot on the Democratic line.

Mullane says her math background is just what the city needs. A 14-year-employee of the Lockport City School District, she spent a decade as a math teaching assistant at North Park and will be a math teaching assistant at Charles Upson Elementary in the coming school year.

The Lindhurst Drive resident said "I don't know what happened down there. ... I hope I can turn it around."

"I've lived here all my life and I care about this city — and the people know that.

On the Republican side, Patrick Feeley, a retired Army officer and corporate vice president will be seeking the seat.

Feeley said this evening via press release: “The challenges facing our beloved city is enormous and daunting, but it’s time for a fresh perspective by individuals who recognize that our city budget must be trimmer and that city taxpayers cannot afford any more increases in taxes and fees.”

Feeley, who has lived on Regent Street for 28 years, said he believes the Common Council must reach a balance between supporting quality of life and using fiscal restraint.

A 1974 graduate of Niagara University, Feeley is a retired Army Officer with 21 years of service between active and reserve duty. He has worked for Prolift for 29 years, including as an operations manager with supervisory responsibilities of a sales budget in excess of three million dollars per year.

He is also seeking the Conservative and Independence Party endorsements.
