Former Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren is running for city court.

Warren announced Monday she is collecting signatures to get on the ballot for the spring primary, despite local attorney Michael Geraci winning the Monroe County Democratic Committee's designation with nearly 95% of the vote.

The party selected Warren to serve on the county's 22nd Legislative District Committee in 2022.

The appointment came less than a year after she pleaded guilty to violating election law and resigned as mayor.
