Two more people have announced their plans to run for mayor of St. Louis. Lassaad Jeliti and Keith Jefferson met the 5 p.m. filing deadline for the March 2 primary. The city will still need to verify that both have garnered enough signatures to appear on the ballot. Jeliti, 55, and Jefferson, 53, join five other mayoral candidates: City Treasurer Tishaura Jones, Aldermanic President Lewis Reed, Alderman Cara Spencer, utility executive Andrew Jones and restauranteur Dana Kelly.
