No, this author is not running for an at-large City Council seat in this May's primary elections — perhaps you've confused me with Isaiah Thomas, a legislative assistant for State Rep. Tony Payton Jr., who is running for that elected position.

You can find out more about that Isaiah, or any of the other known candidates for Philadelphia City Council, at the Committee of Seventy's excellent primer, "Council Districts and Candidates at a Glance,"

If you have even a remote interest in the upcoming election — and it's going to be a free-for-all — visit that page and bookmark it.

So as to be fair to Mr. Thomas' opponents, here are the other presumed candidates listed by Seventy for the at-large Council seats:

POTENTIAL CANDIDATES  (Democrats)

Lawrence Clark (D)
Mike Driscoll (D)
Christopher Hayes (D)
Janis E. Manson (D)
Isaiah Thomas (D)

Potential Candidates (republicans)

Tim Gerard (R)
John Giordano (R)
Marie Delany (R)
Adam Lang (R)

At a minimum you are missing Sherrie Cohen and Andy Toy from your list of potential Dem at large candidates.

You left David Oh- Rhino off your list.
