Manhattan City Commissioner Usha Reddi is seeking a third term on the city commission.
Reddi announced Monday morning on her Facebook page that she had filed paperwork with the Riley County Clerk’s office for the November general election. She was first elected in 2013 and re-elected in 2017.
Reddi, in her post says she’s looking forward to helping lead Manhattan’s efforts out of the pandemic, expressing optimism for its many partnerships with Fort Riley, K-State, USD 383 and the Chamber of Commerce.
Last year, Reddi briefly was a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate but withdrew early on.
She joins incumbent Aaron Estabrook and challengers Monica Macfarlane and Kaleb James as candidates for the city race. Incumbent Mayor Wynn Butler has not announced his intent.
The deadline to file for the election is June 1.
