SCRANTON MAYOR CHRIS DOHERTY ENDED MONTHS OF SPECULATION AFTER HE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED HE'S RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION. DOHERTY ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY THAT HE'LL TRY FOR A THIRD TERM AS MAYOR OF THE ELECTRIC CITY. RUMORS HAD DOHERTY RUNNING FOR CONGRESS, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, AND EVEN LOOKING FOR AN APPOINTED POST FROM GOVERNOR ED RENDELL. BUT NOW THAT DOHERTY'S RUN FOR MAYOR IS OFFICIAL, HIS CHALLENGERS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO COME INTO FOCUS. HE'S EXPECTED TO RUN AGAINST FORMER CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT GARY DI-BILEO AND COUNCILWOMAN JANET EVANS.
