h1. 2015 Toledo Mayoral Candidates 

No September mayoral primary exists in this special election year. 

All candidates will appear on the Nov 3, 2015 ballot, provided they can obtain the necessary petition signatures.

The deadline to file petitions is Sep 4. Candidates are required to obtain at least 750 valid Toledo signatures.

The party affiliations are omitted. Except for the endorsed Democrat candidate, which is current mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson, I don't think that party affiliation matters.

Unofficially, the mayoral field looks like this as of Wed, Aug 19:

* Mike Bell  
* Sandra Drabik Collins 
* Opal Covey  
* Mike Ferner  
* Carty Finkbeiner 
* Paula Hicks-Hudson  
* Sandy Spang
