Thurston Reeder and Nancy Hoffman, City Council candidates, District 4
In case City Council member Nancy Hoffman hasn’t come by your house to inform you personally, you need to know that College Hill has been moved very quietly to City Council District 4. City elections will be held on July 26, so the district candidates we have to choose between are incumbent member Hoffman and Thurston H. Reeder Jr.
Hoffman has been knocking on doors to let College Hill voters know we’re now in her district, since the city itself hasn’t made any effort to tell us.
Mayor’s race
Also on the ballot are candidates for mayor and City Council at-large seats. The mayor’s race has come down to incumbent Nancy Vaughan and Justin Outling, our previous City Council district representative.
City Council at large
There are six candidates running for three at-large seats: Marikay Abuzuaiter, Tracy Furman, Hugh Holston, Yvonne J. Johnson, Katie Rossabi and Linda Wilson. The incumbents are Abuzuaiter, Holston and Johnson (mayor pro tem).
Bond proposals
There are five significant city bond referenda on the ballot, to provide funding for fire department facilities, housing (including $20 million for affordable rental units), parks and recreation facilities, police facilities and transportation projects.
