News of Yanceys interest follows that of fellow former city councilor Stephen J. Murphy, who has also pulled nomination papers for the obscure register spot, according to McNiff.

Yancey, who served on the council for 32 years, and Murphy both lost re-election bids last November Yancey to newcomer Andrea Campbell while Murphy was effectively pushed from the councils four-person at-large field by Annissa
Essaibi-George.
Murphy has sought different and higher offices before, including state treasurer and Suffolk County sheriff. Yancey in 2013 ran both on what was an expansive mayoral ticket and as an incumbent councilor, winning re-
election to his seat.
