We’ve now got a better idea who the next mayor of Elk Grove will be……….while the election is still a little less than four months away the time to file for candidacy is now and the field is taking shape……Current city councilman Gary Davis has been issued the necessary papers as have two other candidates, Jerry Braxmeyer and LaWanna Montgomery……Former mayor and current councilwoman Sophia Scherman has announced she plans to file and is expected to soon while current mayor Jim Cooper has announced he doesn’t plan to run for that post……This year will be the first that Elk Grove voters directly elect the mayor---in years past city voters would elect their various council representatives  and then the council would select a mayor……The election this year is Tuesday, November 6th.
