Ever since corruption [charges against State Senator Carl Kruger](/carl-kruger-charged-with-accepting-1-million-in-bribes/) surfaced on March 10, 2011, City Councilman [Lew Fidler’s name sat at the top of the list](/possible-contenders-for-krugers-seat-emerge/) of possible replacements. So we checked in with the Councilman to find out his thoughts on the matter.

He wrote:

> Today is a sad day on so many, many levels. Once again our confidence in government has been jolted. For the past several months, I have carefully refrained from disrespecting the United States Constitution and the rights of the accused. In doing so, I have promised that at the appropriate time I would comment fully. Today is not that day as it would seem appropriate to let the events that have occurred resonate fully without political commentary. I do however promise to comment on and make my plans known in the very near future. Stay tuned.

Fidler has not yet announced a run in the special elections, but is widely believed to be the Democratic nominee, and the mention of revealing his “plans … in the very near future” certainly hint at his intention to run.
