The mayoral race in Chatham-Kent heated up Monday, when two men filed their nomination papers.
John Willatt and Reno Lachapelle of Chatham gave notice they will seek the top municipal political seat in the Oct. 27 election.
The two join Chatham Coun. Marjorie Crew as the people who have so far filed their paperwork to run for mayor. Incumbent Randy Hope has said he will run again, while Ian McLarty, who ran in 2010, said he intends to file his papers as early as this week.
