City Clerk Gwen Peirce said he submitted the 100 required qualified signatures and ballot statement to City Hall.

Hotchkiss, who is seeking his second four-year term, also filed a financial statement with the state reporting more than $35,000.00 in campaign funds collected prior to July 1. Sources said his war chest is now approaching $40,000.

“We are off to a good start, and now must run a hard race against a number of challengers. I look forward to it,” Hotchkiss said.
