Open thread: the Missoula city council candidates

June 28, 2007 in 2007 Election, Missoula, Missoula City Council

by Jay Stevens

The Missoulian reported our city’s slate of current city council candidates (filing deadline is Thursday).

Here’s the outlook.

Ward 1: It’s Jason Wiener and Justin Armintrout.

In Wards 2 and 3, the incumbents – Don Nicholson and Stacie Rye, respectively – are running unopposed. (Although rumor has another entrant into the Ward 2 race. I’ll report later if confirmed.)

Ward 4 pits Lyn Hellegaard and Denver Henderson are challenging incumbent Jerry Ballas.

Ward 5 is up for grabs, so far. There’s a vacant seat, and no candidates as of print time of the report.

Ward 6 has incumbent Ed Childers running against perennial also-ran, Lewie Schneller.

Commentary later.
