Two Alexander incumbents opposed in November election; Three incumbents didn't file

With the deadline to file election petitions expired, the election for positions in the City of Alexander will have opposition for two incumbents. Three incumbents didn't file.

The two incumbents with opponents are Council Member Harold Timmerman (Ward-3; Position-1) and Council Member Juanita Wilson (Ward-4; Position-2). Daniel L. Bates filed a petition for Timmermann's seat. Trevis Bentley is seeking to unseat Wilson.

Incumbents who did not file for re-election are Council Member Joe Pollard (Ward-1 Position-1), Council Member Tony Staton (Ward-3 Position-2) and City Recorder Sharon Bankhead. Council Member Gina R. Thomas-Littlejohn, currently representing Ward-2 Position-2, is not seeking re-election due to her run for a seat in the State House of Representatives.

The two offices that do not have a candidate are Ward-1 Position-1 and City Treasurer. Former City Treasurer JoAn Churchill resigned effective December 31, 2023. Since then no one could be found to fill the vacancy.

Candidates running unopposed are Council Member Mitchell W. Smith (Ward-1; Position-2), Council Member Joy Gray (Ward-2; Position-1), Christopher Prowse (Ward-2; Position-2), Amy Lyons (Ward-3; Position-2), Council Member Angela Griffin (Ward-4; Position-1), and Megan Chapman for City Recorder. The election is November 5.
