Westerholm
While Metro Council District 6 candidate Dave Rich was touting a new senior adviser who has won some big campaigns, rival Peter Westerholm rolled out endorsements this afternoon from two former council members and one outgoing councilman.
Westerholm said in a news release and a campaign mail piece that he’s been endorsed by David Briley, who served at-large from 1999 to 2007 and ran for mayor four years ago; Erik Cole, the District 7 representative who participated in his final council meeting last week after eight years in office, and Jeff Ockerman, who represented District 6 from 1991 to 1995.

Attorney Hans Schmidt, who finished third behind Westerholm and Rich in the Aug. 4 election, also is supporting Westerholm, whom several other neighborhood leaders say nice things about in the mail piece.
