Emory Turner has announced his candidacy for the Gainesville City Council Ward 2 seat currently held by Bob Hamrick. Turner said his “desire to serve” was solidified by the recent departure of City Manager Kip Padgett, and the pending retirement of Hamrick and Ward 3 Councilwoman Myrtle Figueras. Official qualifying for the Nov. 3 ballot takes place next week.
