Newcomers join incumbent council members as 11 vie for six seats

Curtis Hardwick and Pamela Hoots will have a chance to convince city voters that they make the better leader as they again square off for the mayor’s seat.

Hoots beat Hardwick in a three-way race four years ago, with Hoots getting 496 votes, Hardwick, who was the incumbent, getting 443 votes, and Ben Arnold receiving 341 votes.

The city council race has several newcomers to candidacy, with Natalie Marcum, Hannah Peck, retired city clerk Rhonda Bennett Loy, and Mike Robertson joining incumbents Ronald “Butch” Rogers, Sharon Payne, Robert Flowers, Craig Dean, Linda Waggener and Mark Harris, along with former council member Charles Grimsley. City voters will be able to vote for six candidates and the top six in the field of 11 will take office.

Here is a rundown of the candidates in the November general election. Tuesday was the deadline to file.
