Incumbent Mann Joins Winter in Race for Menifee Mayor

Menifee Mayor Scott Mann made it official, pulling papers this week with the intention to run for re-election in November.

Mann returned from a trip to Boston, where he was attending a leadership symposium, and pulled papers on Monday. He is the second resident to pull papers for the position of mayor. Neil Winter, who ran for the City Council District 3 seat last fall, pulled papers July 20.

Current City Council members Greg August (District 1) and Lesa Sobek (District 3) are the only residents who have pulled papers to run in their districts. August is the only one who has returned completed paperwork and been certified, according to city clerk Sarah Manwaring.

The other two council members -- Matt Liesemeyer in District 2 and John Denver in District 4 -- are serving four-year terms that are up in 2018.

Deadline for residents to pull papers for City Council positions is Aug. 12.
