By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

Manchester Alderman Mike Lopez left open the possibility that he might run for mayor of the largest city in New Hampshire.

When asked if he is considering running for mayor of Manchester, Lopez told PolitickerNH.com on Thursday that "all my options are always open."

Lopez said that whoever decides to run for mayor will need to enter the race by March in order to lay the groundwork for the November 2009 election. Current Mayor Frank Guinta has not announced whether or not he will run for re-election.

Pols to honor Pappas

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

Queen City politicians will gather on June 28 to unveil a monument dedicated to Ron Pappas.

Pappas, owner of Manchester's Pappy's Pizza, died last year after a battle with cancer. His company sponsored almost 20 athletic teams a year and he would discuss the dangers of drunk driving at area high schools. In 1967, Pappas was left paralyzed after crashing his car into a telephone pole.

The monument will feature a plaque and a flag pole located directly across the street from Pappy's Pizza at the Carol M. Rines Center.
