A fourth York City resident is throwing his hat in the ring for the chance to be mayor.

David Moser said he's hoping to offer an alternative choice to the three Democrats who will compete in the May 21 primary for their party's nomination.

Among his opponents is current Mayor Kim Bracey, who is seeking re-election.

"A lot of people are upset with the current administration," Moser said. "I think I can do better."

Moser, a Libertarian, has until Aug. 1 to collect 100 signatures and file a petition with the county elections office so his name can appear on the ballot in November.

As he collected signatures Friday on Continental Square, Moser said he's planning to file his petition next week.

His competition in November will be the winner of a Democratic primary that pits Bracey against York City Council President Carol Hill-Evans and newcomer Joe Beltrante. Other candidates could also emerge.

Moser, 35, is no stranger to local politics. He serves as chairman of the York County Libertarian Party.

He ran last year for the 95th state House District against then-incumbent Rep. Eugene DePasquale, a Democrat.

DePasquale won re-election, defeating Moser with nearly 83 percent of the vote. (DePasquale later resigned to take over as the state's auditor general, triggering the need for a special election scheduled for May 21.)
