City Council Elections

Changes coming to Shoreview and Vadnais Heights city councils
Many Bulletin-area incumbents were re-elected following this year's election Nov. 4.
All incumbent representatives on the federal and state levels will maintain their seats.

Although Mendota is dealing with a small pool of candidates this November, the tiny town at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers has some huge projects to handle. 

Facing changes to its populace and housing stock, the leaders of Sunfish Lake are keeping in mind the city's traditions.

In the small political pond of Lilydale, three unopposed incumbents are again running to represent the town of about 700 people in the Nov. 4 general election.

While the mayoral and Ward 3 council races heat up, two West St. Paul City Council candidates are running unopposed in this year's election, offering them a chance to focus on the city's future.

The South St. Paul city council race features three available seats and six candidates running for those seats. All three incumbents whose terms are up — Todd Podgorski, Marilyn Rothecker and Tom Seaberg — are seeking re-election.

The competition for two council seats in North St. Paul includes two incumbents, Terry Furlong and Candy Norgard-Petersen; one former council member who hopes to return, Dave Zick, and perennial candidate Bob Zick.

The Nov. 4 general election is less than two weeks away, and Lake Elmo has two city council seats set to expire at the end of the year.

Vadnais Heights is home to competitive city council elections this fall with two council members and the mayor up for re-election.

Two Shoreview city council members are up for re-election this year. Seats held by Terry Quigley and Ben Withhart are set to expire at the end of the year.
