Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos said Wednesday he is "strongly" considering a run for Alabama governor in 2010.
Petelos said he’s been talking with people around the state about running as a Republican nominee, but has yet to form a campaign committee or take official action.A decision could be made by June 1, he said, when candidates are allowed to begin raising campaign funds.
Petelos currently is in his second term as mayor of Hoover. A former legislator in the state’s House of Representatives, the Ensley native previously served as Alabama’s commissioner of the Department of Human Resources, a spot appointed by Gov. Fob James. He now sits on its board, an appointment made by Gov. Bob Riley, who cannot run again because of term limits.
