Four candidates are vying to fill the Brighton City Council’s vacant Ward 4 seat, the city announced Sept. 1.

The city released the list of candidates for open City Council seats for the Nov. 7 election. In all, four seats on the council are open.

That includes the city’s second Ward 4,formerly held by Adam Cushing. He announced that he had moved out of the ward in January. Councilors agreed in Februaryto leave the seat vacant until the general election in November rather than schedule a special election in the spring.

Four candidates have taken out petitions and secured a spot on the ballot for that seat: Donald D.R. Dill, Daniel Alan Sherman, Lloyd Worth and Kathryn Le Donne.

Ward 1 voters will have a choice, City Council incumbent Tom Green or newcomer Jessie Williams.

The remaining two seats on the ballot will be unchallenged. In Ward 2, the seat held by Councilor Mary Ellen Pollack will be open. Pollack is not seeking another term and Jim Snyder is the only Ward 2 candidate who made the ballot.

In Ward 3, Councilor and Mayor Pro Tem Clint Blackhurst did not submit petitions to make the ballot, but Christopher Fiedler will be the sole candidate on the ballot for Ward 3. Fiedler is also the Superintendent of Adams County school district 27J and is due to retire from the district in June 2024.
