At 1:20 pm Nate Curtis met a member of the Sheriff's office at the Midtown Scholar to receive his petition challenge. After accepting his paperwork Nate expressed his frustration with the challenge, " I go off to war, I come back from Afghanistan, and I just want to help my city, and this is the thanks I get?"

Donald Lee Coles, Sr. has filed the following objections to Nevin Mindlin's candidacy for Mayor.

Mindlin is being challenged on his failure to specify the names of individuals authorized to fill vacancies on his campaign committee should any occur.

The instructions on the nomination petitions specify that a list of 3 to 5 people must be specified to fill vacancies on the candidates' campaign committee. This must be done prior to collecting signatures and filing the completed petitions.

As a result, the petitioners claim that Mindlin's petitions are incomplete. If upheld, such a claim requires the court to reject his Nomination Papers and strike his name from the ballot.

Autumn L. Cooper and Joseph K. Lahr have filed objections to challenge the candidacy of Nate Curtis for Mayor. Here's a copy of their challenge. Joseph L. Lahr is involved with the Dauphin County GOP and is listed as their leader in Harrisburg on their website. Mr. Lahr is also involved in a 35 million dollar lawsuit against the city of harrisburg, see page 79-80.

Cooper and Lahr's filing alleges that Mr. Curtis is ineligible to be elected or serve as Mayor of Harrisburg due to his failure to meet residency requirements pursuant to the Third Class City Code. This is an issued we raised when Nate Curtis officially announced his candidacy for Mayor.

In addition to residency requirements, Cooper and Lahr highlight the fact that Curtis' nomination petitions omit the required "Committee to Fill Vacancies" on each of the nomination petitions that were circulated and filed. As a result, the petitioners claim that all of Nate's petitions must be disregarded.

The last charge filed against Curtis is for filing a defective statement of financial interest. In the original statement Curtis filed he did not disclose any creditors, and he specified that his only source of income was from the Pennsylvania Air National Guard.

The last challenge stipulates that Curtis had at least one creditor to whom he owed more than $6,500 dollars and income greater than $1,300 dollars from an additional source that he did not disclose. Pennsylvania law requires both of these instances to be disclosed.
