The deadline to file as a candidate for the Bethel City Council election is this Monday, August 22 at 12:00 p.m.
Three council seats sit open, and so far only one person has filed for candidacy: Mary Weiss, who already serves on council after taking Chuck Herman’s spot following his resignation earlier this year.
Council members serve two-year terms. Byron Maczynski and Zach Fansler’s terms are ending this year, and neither of them have filed for re-election. This week Fansler won the House District 38 Democratic Primary, and with no competitor, he’s expected to win the general election.
Bethel City Council elections are October 4.
