Talk radio show host Robert T. Nash picked up qualifying papers this morning from the Hamilton County Election Commission to run either for mayor or in the District 6 City Council race.

Mr. Nash said he has not been impressed with representation of the Brainerd area on the City Council. He admitted his role as a talk show host could give him some media edge.

“I’m going to have to walk a thin line,” he said.

District 6 now is represented by Dr. Carol Berz. Marti Rutherford, the former councilwoman for District 6, also has picked up qualifying papers to run.

Mr. Nash is a host on Talk Radio 102.3 WGOW
