Three Lafayette City Council members - Mayor Teresa Gerringer, Council Member Susan Candell, and Council Member Wei-Tai Kwok - will have their terms expire in 2022. The nomination period for candidates opened July 18 and the deadline for nominations is at 5 p.m. Aug. 12. Candidates may obtain nomination materials and file documents with City Clerk Joanne Robbins by appointment only Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to the city's website. Robbins said she does not have any advance notice on whether the incumbents intend to run for re-election.
If an incumbent eligible for re-election does not file nomination documents by the Aug. 12 deadline, the deadline is extended to Aug. 17 at 5 p.m. for non-incumbent candidates.
The secretary of state will conduct a randomized alphabetic drawing on Aug. 18 to decide the candidates' name order on the Nov. 8 ballot.
