Willie Wilson

Rule Changes

Filed first-day petitions; his campaign challenged Mayor Johnson's petitions Nov. 2.

Willie Wilson's campaign filed a challenge to Mayor Brandon Johnson's nominating petitions on Nov. 2, arguing that photocopied signatures and unregistered circulators leave him short of the 12,500 valid signatures needed to appear on the ballot. Johnson, the first incumbent to face such a challenge since 2007, filed 33,000 signatures and says he will survive.
