A fourth York City resident is throwing his hat in the ring for the chance to be mayor. <\/p>\n
David Moser said he's hoping to offer an alternative choice to the three Democrats who will compete in the May 21 primary for their party's nomination. <\/p>\n
Among his opponents is current Mayor Kim Bracey, who is seeking re-election. <\/p>\n
\"A lot of people are upset with the current administration,\" Moser said. \"I think I can do better.\" <\/p>\n
Moser, a Libertarian, has until Aug. 1 to collect 100 signatures and file a petition with the county elections office so his name can appear on the ballot in November. <\/p>\n
As he collected signatures Friday on Continental Square, Moser said he's planning to file his petition next week. <\/p>\n
His competition in November will be the winner of a Democratic primary that pits Bracey against York City Council President Carol Hill-Evans and newcomer Joe Beltrante. Other candidates could also emerge. <\/p>\n
Moser, 35, is no stranger to local politics. He serves as chairman of the York County Libertarian Party. <\/p>\n
He ran last year for the 95th state House District against then-incumbent Rep. Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat. <\/p>\n
DePasquale won re-election, defeating Moser with nearly 83 percent of the vote. (DePasquale later resigned to take over as the state's auditor general, triggering the need for a special election scheduled for May 21.) <\/p>\n
