Ramsey - In the past, LWV candidate forums [fora?] were televised on QCTV. After a change in council makeup since the last election the practice may be resumed.

This cycle Ward 1, Ward 3, and the at large seat having Randy Backous as incumbent will be on the ballot.

My present best understanding is that the two wards will not go to a primary but the at large contest might.

I believe neither Backous nor Jason Tossey will be seeking another term. I believe a former councilmember, a present EDA member, and two others have filed.

Filings closed today, I believe, while each candidate who filed has a three day grace period to withdraw a candidacy.

I await ABC Newspapers reporting of detail, and will post a link to their item as soon as they post information online.
