The candidates are plenty, as readers sent in numerous requests for their preferred councilors.
Rules are simple: list everyone you'd vote for in the order that you prefer them (include as many as you like). You don't have to vote for those folks you don't like. And remember, you only should be voting at most once per day.

Oh, and any candidates that have content to share, let us know and we'll gladly post.

Be sure to watch till the end.
slight edit - we received information that Mrs. Briley is residing out of town now and won't be accepting your vote.
A strong start to Mr Hardy. And what about Dr. Simmons - maybe this is his year to run! Watch out for the dark horse Kepplinger, who's campaign planning is currently underground.
Darn, If I had known I would be nominated I wouldn't have moved out of town!
We will be back, just a slight problem with having to find a place to live quickly as we sold our house.
Thanks again for the nomination.
Polly, you can buy my house. Make me an offer. A "Main Street Gem" is what it could be called with a little tender love and care!
Can we do one of these for School Board???
44 votes after day 1. Not bad.
