Frank Holtz Running for Town Council

Leesburg Today reports that Frank Holtz, who is currently the campaign manager for Jim Clem, will be running for Leesburg Town Council next year.

Although voters working to sort through the campaign rhetoric for next month's local election, one Leesburg resident already is looking ahead to May's municipal balloting.

Frank Holtz, a 12-year Leesburg [sic, Leesburg Today probably meant "Leesburg Resident" -P13], today became the first candidate to announce his candidacy for a town council seat. - Leesburg Today

This begs two questions.

1. Why is Frank Holtz announcing his own campaign before the campaign he's working on is even over? And what does that say about his priorities?

2. Will Frank Holtz run his own campaign against the Town the way he has run Jim Clem's campaign against the Town?
