"So I am very pleased to tell you that we have our slate. We have had meetings with them Tuesday and last night. Last night we had a meeting with all of them in this office and we are going to have a launch, not this weekend, but the following weekend, I think it's the fourth of November. And I am pleased to also announce that Bernard Wagner is going to be our mayoral candidate - a dynamic young man, a young man I've had the pleasure to meet; a person that is sincere, that is genuine, a person that has lived in Southside, has worked in Southside, that has worked with young people, has worked in the bank - so he is a rounded individual, that is not just depending on who he is but what he has done, that he is offering himself. So I am very excited about the team."

The slate is expected to be endorsed on the first weekend in November.
