their campaigns up to full steam.
But at least one person is being forced to curtail his campaign appearances.
Jim Parson is one of three people running for mayor, and says due to an illness in his family, he won't be making any public appearances over the next couple of months.
There are three all-candidate forums next week, but Parsons says he will not be able to attend.
He says his heart is still in the election race and won't be withdrawing from the mayoralty race.
