Tuesday is election day in Clinton and there are a couple of races on the Clinton City Council that are contested in this cycle.
The Commissioner of Streets and Public Improvements will be one of those contested races with a trio of candidates. Incumbent Ken Buchanan tells Regional Radio News he was not planning to run again but found himself wanting to see through some projects that he's been instrumental in starting.
Buchanan will be challenged Tuesday by Seth Redington. Redington told Regional Radio if he were elected, he would hope to bring a fresh set of eyes to the Council and get the most out of the manpower that's available to the City.
Another contested race for the Clinton City Council is the Commissioner of Accounts and Finance. Incumbent Tom Edmunds indicates one of his proudest accomplishments is the fact when he came on the Council, things were not good financially.
Brad Barnes is challenging Edmunds for the Commissioner of Accounts and Finance on Tuesday. He tells Regional Radio trust is the foundation of the relationship between a public servant and the public.
John Wise is running uncontested for the Commissioner of Public Property. In the next four years, he wants to see the City focus on growing and attracting people to it.
Commissioner Wise tells Regional Radio, the next four years will be his final on the City Council. He hopes to bring someone under his wing and show them the ropes in anticipation of running in '27.
