The race for Dearborn mayor has a crowded field as three more candidates announced over the past week they're running to lead the city.
The three who declared their candidacies in recent days are former Dearborn City Council President Tom Tafelski, 50, former Wayne County Commissioner and former state Rep. Gary Woronchak, 65, and financial adviser Jim Parrelly, 62.
The three new candidates are in addition to three others who declared their intentions to run over the past month: Dearborn City Council President Susan Dabaja, Dearborn School Board member Hussein Berry and state Rep. Abdullah Hammoud, D-Dearborn.
As of Wednesday morning, Berry, Woronchak and Tafelski had filed paperwork with the City Clerk's Office and paid the $100 filing fee to be put on the ballot for the August primary, City Clerk George Darany told the Free Press. Candidates have until April 20 to file to run for mayor.
