They ran against each other in the 2005 primary, when they were both Democrats. Now with Hoyle as the Democrat, and Bowling as the Republican, they are squaring off in the Nov. 3 general election as nominees from the two major parties to represent one of the city's most diverse wards.
Hoyle, 73 and a retired school teacher, entered office in 2001 after she defeated 20-year incumbent Samuel Gilmer in the primary. She was re-elected in 2005.
Early in her second term, she ran for an open County Council seat. She lost to...

Good post. I would have probably left out the word "officially," though. Allows for too much wiggle-room.

Hoyle's signs - 2009-11-01 20:19:26
My name is Dave Miller. I am the treasurer for the friends of Scott Bowling. I have been contacted by the Hoyle campaign. They are concerned that persons purported to represent Scotts campaign are removing Ms. Hoyles campaign signs. I can unequivocally state that no one officially on the campaign has removed any of Ms. Hoyles signs. I invite anyone that has any knowledge of signs being removed by people purporting to represent this campaign contact me at davidamiller1@verizon.net, with the name of the person removing signs and the locations of the removal.
Scott and I condemn the act by anyone to remove of any of Ms. Hoyles signs, aside from the property owners on whose property the signs are displayed. They are the only party that has the choice to display or remove a sign. While we are unaware of any signs being removed, with specific evidence of a perpetrator, we will confront them individually and demand they specifically cease and desist with such actions and reinstall any signs removed. Such actions are inconsistent with the caliber of campaign Scott as run, and are unacceptable to the candidate, me, his treasurer, and his campaign manager.
Scott has pursued the position as alderman for Ward 3 based on differentiating himself on the issues of fiscal responsibility, transparency and a professional, council-manager form of government. He is confident that his experience will bring new perspective to the council, and that change is necessary at this juncture. There is no room for childish issues such as sign removal in an adult campaign on important matters.
