Wood will announce next week that she will run for re-election for a second term as city mayor. Wood said in an interview this week that her fund raising has gone well and that she is "96 percent" certain that she will run again. Wood, who turns 50 in September, said she will talk with her family over the week end about her decision. She will make her announcement at a 1 1 a.m. news conference on Tuesday at the Sawtooth Building. In an hour-long interview with the Chronicle , Wood said that some of her prior ities are increasing economic development in East Winston and reducing the city's crime rate. "1 think I stand for that," she said. "We understand that we cannot grow as a city or as a community until the community can be at peace with each other." Wood's campaign will be managed by Rich Noyes, who is taking a leave of absence from the Center of Media and Pub lic Affairs in Washington, D.C. "I think at this point, unless any one thing jumps up and causes her to do other wise, she will be running," Noyes said. Noyes arrived in the city this week. Wood, a Democrat, narrowly won the mayoral seat in 1989 with 51.5 percent of the vote, defeating Republican challenger Lenville M. Sale by 900 votes. She replaced longtime Mayor Wayne A.
