Mark Foley for Mayor? Don’t rule it out

[ccharles000]

If you’re looking for a big name to add to the 2011 West Palm Beach mayoral race, look no further than Mark Foley.

On Wednesday, Foley confirmed that friends and colleagues have gauged his interest in the wide-open mayoral race that so far has just two official candidates in Commissioners Jeri Muoio and Molly Douglas.

Foley said he is still a long way from running for elected office, but he wouldn’t rule out the mayoral run.

“I keep hearing the buzz,” Foley said. “But there’s no plan in place.”

Foley said he’s not sure what other potential candidates, especially Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell, are planning. Mitchell and Foley are long-time friends, and if she decides not to run, it could open up a spot for Foley.

Despite Foley’s baggage from the page scandal that forced him to resign his US Congressional seat in 2007, Foley has reemerged on the political scene as a fundraiser and host of a local radio show.
