Ending weeks of speculation, a press release was sent out Thursday evening announcing that State Senator Maida Coleman will officially file papers to run for mayor on Friday.
From the press release:
“Under the current administration, St. Louis has been named the most dangerous city in the US. St. Louis Public Schools have been taken over by the state, jobs are disappearing in droves and the city has become more polarized than ever.
