Kennedy said he was convinced the timing wouldn't be a problem because he hasn't seen Noski doing much campaigning. Noski said Monday that his campaign is up and running and that Kennedy's decision will have no effect on his plans. Noski hopes to officially return to work this week after a four-month medical leave. He has been working from home while recovering from his March battle with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a debilitating virus that left him nearly totally paralyzed and forced him to learn to walk and talk all over again. Kennedy said he plans to endorse a candidate for his position but is keeping mum until he knows if anyone else from his force plans to run.
Candidates officially file for elected positions next week.
