Dearborn Council Primary Set for Aug. 4

Get ready for some heavy duty campaigning this summer as enough candidates have filed to serve on the Dearborn City Council to force a primary on August 4.

Below is a list of the candidates as of 5 p.m. Tuesday. The Dearborn City Clerk’s office will spend the day today to confirm the validity of the signatures on the other petitions. Candidates have until Friday to withdraw from the race.

The race for mayor so far includes Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr., and Michael Prus. Councilman Doug Thomas did file a petition for the position but the clerk’s office still is checking on the validity of the signatures on his petition. Thomas also filed to run for his council seat. The petition for that position was valid.

For the first time since being elected to City Clerk, Kathleen Buda will be running unopposed after John Jay Hubbard withdrew his petition for the race.

The top 14 vote getters in the August primary will proceed to the general election in November. The council candidates include:

  1. Robert Abraham (I)
  2. Joseph Agius
  3. David Bazzy
  4. Terry Burke
  5. Khalil Dakhlallah
  6. Patrick D’Ambrosio
  7. George Darany (I)
  8. Mark Dawdy
  9. Stephen Dobkowski, Jr
  10. Sharon Dulmage
  11. Rabih Hammoud
  12. George Hart
  13. Nancy Hubbard (I)
  14. Patrick Kiernan
  15. Scott Marquette
  16. Brian O’Donnell
  17. Suzanne Sareini (I)
  18. Ali Sayed
  19. Molly Sharp
  20. Mark Shooshanian (I)
  21. Nancy Siwik
  22. Hussein Sobh
  23. Thomas Tafelski (I)

    Looks like few if any changes are likely.

    Good luck to any write-in candidate. Getting your name out is a enormous task when it is not on the ballot and voters actually have to write-in your name. Especially if your just starting out, politically!
