Davis has not yet confirmed his candidacy.

 

""I expect to make a final decision on a campaign later this year,"" he said in a statement.

Other candidates from both sides of the aisle are also vying for the position. Superior Mayor Dave Ross, a Republican, filed to run July 3. Milwaukee Ald. Tony Zielinksi, a Democrat, announced his candidacy Aug. 25.

 

Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton will vacate the seat in 2010. She announced her candidacy for governor in August.
