Clayton's 2013 Mayoral Race: Sanger, Harris, Berger III to Run
The three confirmed their intentions this week.
Ward 3 Alderman recently launched his bid for mayor in a very public way: He opened a Twitter account.
The description that accompanies his online handle, @AB3forMayor, states: "Leadership necessary to enhance our community, empower citizens, pro-active in approach to economic development and fiscal management. Passionate about Clayton!"
The second term of Mayor Linda Goldstein ends in April, when the mayoral election will be held.

Berger III confirmed on Thursday that he intends to run for mayor. A formal announcement is planned later this month.
Two other Clayton residents—Ward 2 Alderman and Harold Sanger, chairman of the city's Plan Commission and Architectural Review Board and a former Ward 3 alderman—also confirmed they intend to seek the office.
They said they would speak more about their candidacies at a later time.
Candidates can begin filing for the race this year on Dec. 11, according to the Missouri Secretary of State's Office. Election Day is April 2.
