Seven people were at DeKalb City Hall on Monday morning, waiting for the county clerk's office so they could turn in nominating petitions to appear on the April ballot.

Three mayoral candidates – DeKalb School District 428 Board member Mike Verbic, former Ag/Monsanto employee John Rey, and former Re:New DeKalb executive director Jennifer Groce – were among the seven who appeared.

Sycamore's Ken Mundy also submitted a nominating petition. Mundy will seek his third term as the mayor of Sycamore. Mundy likened the petition to a job application, and that Sycamore voters were his boss.
