San Antonio Lightning Newspaper Editor & Publisher R.G. Griffing is an official candidate for Mayor of San Antonio.

The internet newspaper publisher says he will not take contributions from the usual suspects who fund political races so he is not "beholding to anybody."

He also points out he has strong views on a number of issues that he will detail at a later time. Readers can view his website at www.sanantoniolightning.com for more in depth information on his issues.

The election will be held May 12th. Filing deadline for candidates is March 12th.
