“It is an honor to serve the people of Lincoln,” Spatz said in a press release. “The city of Lincoln deserves strong leadership as we look out upon another challenging budget.”

The press conference will be held at the Nebraska Association of School Board’s conference room, 1311 Stockwell Ave.

Spatz was first elected to the Lincoln City Council in 2007, representing District 4, which is northwest Lincoln and includes the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, airport, downtown and Haymarket. So far, nobody else has announced plans to run in that district.
