*We assume Francois is no longer running, given that he
moved out of the stateearlier this month. Some of the other individuals on the list (like Colby Sledge, Freddie O'Connell) have already announced their plans publicly while others (like Kathleen Murphy, fresh off managing Bill Beck's state House campaign) have not.
NOTE: Jeff Syracuse has also appointed a treasurer for his campaign in District 15.
