Richard Silverman is seeking one of two Manteca City Council seats up for grabs in November 2014.“Manteca has been able to weather the financial downturn better than any city in our county,” Silverman said in a release Tuesday. “I want to work with the current Council to continue the progress our community has made. My experience in finance will bring greater fiscal accountability, transparency and accountability to City Hall, and I look forward to playing a large part in Manteca’s exciting future.”The two seats available in November are currently held by John Harris and Vince Hernandez.
