Fayetteville City Council candidates
Eleven candidates are vying for seats on the Fayetteville City Council, including two incumbents.
Sonia Gutierrez, Kris Paxton and Olivia Trimble are running in Ward 1. The winner will replace Adella Gray, who is not seeking a fourth term on the council.
In Ward 2, Council member Mark Kinion faces Martin Bemberg and Raymond Burks. Kinion is seeking a third term on the council.
Lucas Regnier and Sloan Scroggin each hope to fill the seat currently held by Justin Tennant in Ward 3. Tennant has served since 2010, but is not seeking another four-year term.
In Ward 4, incumbent John La Tour faces Adam Fire Cat and Teresa Turk. La Tour is seeking a second term on the council.
Possible runoff elections
With more than two candidates in wards 1, 2 and 4, there is a possibility that a runoff election will be needed to determine a winner.
If a single candidate doesn’t secure a majority of votes, the two people with the most votes will square off in a runoff election unless the leading candidate receives more than 40 percent of the votes and is ahead of the runner-up by 20 percent.
