Allen County Commissioner Nelson Peters will run for mayor in 2007.
Peters, a Republican, said today he will formally announce his decision Nov. 16 at a luncheon at the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
Peters formed a committee to explore the possibility of his mayoral candidacy Oct. 12, when he said he wanted to see what financial and volunteer support he could gather.
Since forming the committee, he said he has gained a greater understanding of the issues affecting Fort Wayne government to help him put together a platform.
“We’ve gotten a number of people interested and excited,” Peters said.
Local architect Matt Kelty, also a Republican, announced Oct. 9 his intent to run for mayor. With two Republican candidates, the nominee will be decided in the primary election.

So, he formed a committe, spending money, to evaluate whether he should run. He shouldn't if he has to spend money on making that decision.
