Two candidates who previously said they would run for Spokane City Council formally took the plunge on Thursday morning.

Donna McKereghan, former chairwoman of the Logan Neighborhood Council, and Steve Salvatori, owner of the Spokane Entrepreneurial Center, filed paperwork to officially become candidates.

McKereghan joins a crowded field for the chance to take the seat representing Northeast Spokane. The position currently is held by Councilman Bob Apple.

Salvatori is running for the seat being vacated by Councilman Steve Corker, who has chosen to run for City Council president. Only one other candidate has filed to run for the position, which represents Northwest Spokane.
