Ending weeks of speculation, Council member Bobby Shriver has decided to run for reelection, saying he has unfinished business to complete on the council. Shriver, who was elected four years ago with one of the largest vote counts in modern Santa Monica history, pulled papers shortly before City Hall closed on Thursday.
“It’s gonna be hell. It’s gonna be fun,” Shriver told The Lookout. “I just felt there were a couple of things I had to complete, or I would have felt I hadn’t done them,” Shriver said.
He cited his effort to convert three vacant buildings on the Veterans Administration grounds in Westwood into housing and services for mentally ill homeless veterans and said he also wants to continue to help clean up Santa Monica Bay.
Shriver became the final incumbent to pull papers to run for reelection, making next Friday the final deadline for potential candidates to submit the 100 signatures of local voters needed to make the ballot.
