City Council Candidate Jerry Gibson addresses his supporters during his campaign kick-off Tuesday night at Vergina. The event coincided with the start of the campaign qualifying period, and many of those present were signing petitions for Gibson's certification as a candidate. He urged the residents present to pass along word of his candidacy to five friends, and said he was heartened by the support he had received so far.
