East Village Association president and Downtown Long Beach Associates board member Richard Lewis announced today his intent to run for the Long Beach school board seat vacated in September by board member Michael Shane Ellis, who resigned from the Long Beach Board of Education Sept. 1.
The 12-year Long Beach resident and father of two said after this morning's DLBA meeting at the AVIA Hotel that he intends to file his candidacy papers Friday for the Dec. 29 special election to fill the seat.
"Hopefully I'll be able to do some of the stuff we've been able to do here, common sense stuff -- being able to listen to each other, being able to dialogue, coming up with good solutions," he said.
Lewis is the fourth person to announce an intent to run for the District 3 in downtown Long Beach. Also intending to run are Raymond Chavarria, John J. McGinnis and Pauline Gonzalez Stenberg.
