Business owners run for office

Two Chico business owners are the latest to announce their candidacy in 2018.

Kasey Reynolds, owner of Shubert’s Ice Cream & Candy, announced Tuesday she’ll be running for Chico City Council instead of vying for Maureen Kirk’s open seat on the Butte County Board of Supervisors.

Norm Rosene, a dentist and owner of Odyssey Winery and Vineyards, will be a candidate for Kirk’s District 3 seat, according to his LinkedIn profile. He joins former Chico Councilwoman Tami Ritter, who announced her candidacy in September.

District 2 Supervisor Larry Wahl’s seat is also up for grabs. So far, Debra Lucero is the only one challenging Wahl, who is seeking re-election.

Others running for Chico City Council include incumbent Andrew Coolidge, Matt Gallaway, Scott Huber, Heather Minton, Jeremy Markley and Richard Ober.
