Former mayor Fred Eisenberger will run for mayor of Hamilton next year.
"Barring the unforeseen … I'm going to be candidate in 2014," Eisenberger said in a telephone interview today.
Eisenberger was previously mayor from 2006 to 2010. He was defeated by Bob Bratina in his 2010 re-election bid and came in third behind second place finisher Larry Di Ianni.
Eisenberger, 61, has been mulling over a comeback attempt for months.
His commitment to run comes on the heels of Ward 1 Councillor Brian McHattie's decision to seek the mayor's chair.
They'll both face off against Bratina
Eisenberger recently met with McHattie to discuss their mutual plans.
He says McHattie indicated that if they're both in the race, they may end up splitting the vote.
