Maurice Carter has announced that he will seek election to the East Ward Post 1 City Council seat, running against incumbent Councilman Chris Smith, who is seeking re-election.
Carter announced his candidacy for Covington City Council Thursday in a news release that stated that he would qualify on Aug. 26 to run.
He said he has criticized his East Ward representatives lately for a lack of vision and thoughtful leadership, but has now decided to seek election.
“As a citizen, I have that right to speak out when results are not meeting expectations. But, I also have an obligation to accept the responsibility of stewardship myself,” he said in the release. “That’s why I am stepping forward to serve.”
