David Mann sure sounds like he's going to run for Cincinnati mayor.
But the city councilman isn't quite ready to go all in just yet.
"My wife and I are having a lot of conversations, and I'm talking to other people," Mann said on The Enquirer's That's So Cincinnati podcast this week. "There seems to be some interest (from the community), and I'm continuing to look at it very actively."
Asked about a timetable for when he'll decided, the Clifton Democrat said: "If I'm going to think about it, I've got to start raising money. That's something I'm going to initiate soon. That's not an announcement. That kind of is a step in the process."
Mann, 80, talked more in-depth about why he wants to make another run at the mayor's seat, which he's held twice in his long career in public service. He also talked about:
- His vision for the future of Cincinnati
- Definition of "progressive"
- Current state of City Hall
- Working with council's original "Gang of Five" in the 1980s
