La Mirada~La Mirada Community Services Commissioner Steve DeRuse announced this past summer he would be running for La Mirada City Council.

DeRuse pulled nomination papers at city hall yesterday  joining Mayor Pete Dames, Councilman Steve Jones, and Planning Commissioner Larry Mowles who pulled papers on Monday.

Potential candidates have until December 13th to file, or December 15th if an incumbent does not run.

The March 8th election scenario now has four city officials running for three spots- a rarity in La Mirada politics.

Ken Taylor, who ran two years ago, is not entering the race this time around according to his son Kenny.
