First-term Oklahoma City Council member Ed Shadid is planning to run for mayor in 2014, according to a memo to potential campaign consultants.
The memo says that Shadid, a physician elected two years ago from Ward 2 in north-central Oklahoma City, expects to spend $750,000 to $1.5 million.
Dated Thursday, the document notes the race is nonpartisan and says Shadid is a registered independent.
