The first potential prize in the mayoral general election is taking the weekend to think about his plans.
His name is Kermit Carolina. He was one of four Democrats who ran in Tuesday’s party mayoral primary. Toni Harp won that primary. Now she and Justin Elicker, who is running as in independent, are the last two candidates in the race as it heads to the Nov. 5 general election.
Both camps would like to see Carolina, whose base is in the black community, endorse their candidate.
Carolina said Wednesday that he’s listening to both sides and then “meeting with my campaign team over the weekend.” He said he will “make an announcement” Monday on whether he will endorse a candidate, and whom.
Otherwise, he said, “I’m focused on Hillhouse,” the high school where he serves as principal.
