Those filing papers include former Councilman James Rowe, an 18-year council member who was defeated in November, 1985; Louis Heine, who finished fourth in the same 12-candidate race for three seats; Alfreddie Johnson Jr., who finished fifth, and Carlos P. Manlapaz, who finished 10th.
Others filing papers were George Leon Lewis, Paul Richards, Leonard Gibbs and John Melvin James.
