In a written statement, Kriseman he welcomes all candiates to this race. And Kriseman's campaign manager, Jacob Smith, writes "Unfortunately for Rick Baker, this city is eager to pursue its future, not turn back the clock."
The city's primary election is August 29th. The general election is November 7th.
