Another student candidate for mayor?

Via Georgia Liberal, note the declared candidates for Athens-Clarke County mayor along the right-hand side of the page.

You'll recognize both Nancy Denson and Charlie Maddox, as well as University of Georgia student Brandon Shinholser. There's a fourth one, however, and it's another student in Glenn Stegall.

Stegall is currently the president of UGA's Young Democrats, and his candidacy is profiled on www.runforoffice.org.

After I first heard this rumor earlier this month, Stegall and I exchanged emails. We've yet to meet, and he didn't confirm to me that he was seeking the office.

Other sources, however, have indicated to me that Stegall is planning on running and, given the dueling web confirmations, it seems he's in the race.
