Mayor Howell to Seek Second Term in Hayward
Mayor Leo Howell announced yesterday his intention to run again for mayor of Hayward in 1974. He said he has laid plans for a campaign with a committee and strong grassroots support, predicting a five or six man race with opposition from some council members yet denying knowledge of specific challengers. Howell noted the old guard’s resistance, his lack of deep political background, and his desire to balance duties with his real estate business as a reason for an early campaign start.
