The Fresno's mayor's race has begun with the formal announcements of several candidates, and others are just waiting to get into the race to succeed Alan Autry. You'll hear many promises from the candidates, so we're giving you a list of questions you should demand that the candidates answer. They're listed in this editorial in today's paper.

Council Members Jerry Duncan and Mike Dages and former Council Member Tom Boyajian are already in the race. Other possible candidates are Council Member Henry T. Perea and Ashley Swearengin, chief operating officer for the Regional Jobs Initiative. Police Chief Jerry Dyer has been toying with the possibility of running.

The primary election is next June and there will be a November runoff election if no candidate gets a majority in the primary.
