Longtime community advocate Marlon Anderson announced his run Saturday at the Washington Avenue branch of the Albany Public library.
Anderson is seeking the post after three-term Mayor Kathy Sheehan said she won’t seek reelection. Anderson says regardless of the outcome of the June Democratic primary he’s in the race through November.
"And I would like the considerations that any candidate should have."
The 64-year-old Anderson contends the Democratic machine still rules the roost in the city.
He joined a field that already includes Common Council President Corey Ellis, Albany County Legislator Carolyn McLaughlin and City Auditor Dorcey Applyrs, among others.
