Three more candidates have filed to run for Richmond City Council in the November election.

In the 1st District, which encompasses much of the city’s West End, Harry H. Warner Jr. filed paperwork and a petition to appear on the ballot.

The seat is currently held by Councilman Jonathan T. Baliles, who is vacating it to run for mayor.

Warner is a former Army helicopter pilot and a leader of the Save The Diamond Committee, which organized last year to offer a redevelopment plan for the Boulevard and rehab the city’s baseball stadium.

“As your councilman, I will insist on financial integrity, sensible economic development, and support for our first responders, and I will make improving our schools a top priority,” Warner said in a statement.

In the 7th District, which covers Richmond’s East End and is currently represented by Councilwoman Cynthia I. Newbille, Joe Cook has filed a certificate of candidate qualification.

Cook, who worked in information technology for 30 years, says on his campaign Facebook page that although he hasn’t held office, his job experience gave him “the opportunities to speak with business and translate their needs into technical solutions.”
