Yikes. By the time Friday’s 5:00 deadline for applications to fill the city council seat formerly held by Jim Compton rolled around, 99 council hopefuls had put their names in the running, most of them almost literally at the last minute. The final batch of names includes dozens of political unknowns; several candidates - among them mayoral staffer Timothy Durkan, former council member Sue Donaldson, and two-time council candidate Robert Rosencrantz - who had long been rumored to be running; and a handful of new names that council members called “strong contenders,” among them Sally Clark, Stella Chao and Russ Brubaker. Council members will decide Monday on a strategy for selecting the top dozen or so candidates, and have until January 26 to choose Compton’s successor.

A full list of all the contenders is below the jump.
