...other serious contender for the mayor's office is Governor's Councilor Patrick J. (Sonny) McDonough. With a history of ward leadership and prominence in the State Democratic party, McDonough conducts a vigorous, personal campaign, often spending whole days shaking hands with everyone he meets on the street; his goal is 85,000 handshakes before election day.
