UPDATED - Preski Eyeing Run for City Hall

First Perzel's race, then maybe her own
Kelly Preski says she likes to work on just one election at a time: First, state House Speaker John Perzel's - then her own.
Preski, whose husband, Brian, is Perzel's chief of staff, is thinking about running for an at-large City Council seat in 2007.
"You heard right," she said this week.
A registered nurse, Preski, 37, said she would make a decision at the end of next year, after Perzel, a Northeast Philadelphia Republican, ends his reelection race. Preski, who worked on Republican Sam Katz's failed bid for mayor in 2003, intends to work on Perzel's campaign.
The Preskis live in Councilman Rick Mariano's district but will soon move to a house they are building in another district, Kelly Preski said.
That district already has a Republican representative, Councilman Brian J. O'Neill, which is why Preski is mulling an at-large race.

Yesterday, on INSIDE STORY, hosted by Monica Malpass, Renee Amoore, President of the Amoore Group and prominent African-American Republican Woman, stated [paraphrased] "that 2007 will bring several Republicans vying for City Council, one of which was Kelly Preski, wife of Brian Preski, Speaker John Perzel's Chief of Staff. Keep your eye out for her." This came as part of the segment at the end of the show where each panelists gets thirty seconds to speak about anything involving politics. This was a very interesting point.
