GRAND FORKS (AP) - Grand Forks Mayor Mike Brown has an opponent in his re-election bid.

City Council member Mike McNamara says he'll challenge Brown.

McNamara is a local radio talk show host. He made headlines in 2006 when he attended council meetings by telephone while serving as a Marine reservist in Iraq.

Brown is a doctor. He announced in March that he'll seek a third four-year term as mayor.
