Recently appointed Mayor Pro Tem Lisa Bennett announced this week that she will run for mayor of Pacific Grove in November.
She said the city is dealing with many serious issues, including budgetary constraints, an aging infrastructure and protecting historic resources and the natural environment.
Bennett was appointed to the City Council in May 2005 to fill the vacancy left when John Stidham resigned.
The Hear-Old later corrected this story – Lisa Bennett is not running for mayor – she is running for reelection to city council.
