Businessman and Army veteran Sam Morgan is a candidate to replace City Rep Carl Robinson on city council in the next municipal election.

Robinson is termed out and cannot run for the office again.
Morgan could be facing former Mayor and NE City Rep John Cook, who has mentioned a couple of times that he was considering a run for his old seat.
I saw this event advertised on social media this week so its pretty clear that Morgan has formalized his long-rumored candidacy for the seat.
Traditionally the Labor Day breakfast normal is the starting pistol for races in the primary cycle but it looks like it has become the springboard for candidates in the next municipal election. Don't be surprised if you start hearing about more and more candidates throwing their hats in the ring.
