“I don’t want to divide anybody,” said independent candidate Will Parker. “I think, sometimes, there’s partisan between Democrats and the Republicans. I’m in the middle. I think we can come together, see the best of both worlds in both parties, bring that together and unite the city.”
Parker, an independent from Garfield, filed nominating petitions in June. He is the nephew of Willie Stargel. Parker’s main focus is technology, saying only three percent of funding goes to African Americans.
“We need someone who is going to address that tech disparity throughout the city,” he said.
Parker is not the only independent in the race.

“Next week, my team and I are turning in our signatures,” Marlin Woods said.
Woods, a small businessman from East Liberty, positions himself as the best choice.
