Candidate races are set in two of three open seats after Tuesday’s filing deadline. The Ward 2 race features three candidates: Ben Pokrzywinski….Karen Peterson…and incumbent Clarence Vetter.
Redistricting will pit two current members against each other in Ward 4. Both Dale Helms and Tim Johnson are seeking a four-year terms.
No one filed for the At-Large seat currently held by Mark DeMers. The ballot will include a blank line for potential write-in candidates.
