Scott Harrington will run for Common Council's Ward 6 seat after Russell Southard decided not to seek re-election.

ONEONTA – Another former Otsego county rep, Scott Harrington, is running for Common Council in November.

He will seek the Sixth Ward seat, which Council member and Deputy Mayor Russell Southard has held for two terms.

Yesterday, Len Carso announced he would run for the Ward 5 seat, which Council member Dana Levinson is vacating at the end of the year.

Five of the Council's eight members, all of whose terms are ending this year, are not seeking re-election. Earlier today, Mayor Gary Herzig said he didn't know why so many of the current office holders decided not to run again.  Carson and Harrington are the only two Council candidates so far.
