With four days left, only one person has filed to run for Bethel City Council

The deadline to file as a candidate for the Bethel City Council election is this noon Monday, Aug. 22.

Three council seats sit open, and so far only one person has filed for candidacy: Mary Weiss, who already serves on council after taking Chuck Herman’s spot following his resignation earlier this year.

Council members serve two-year terms.

Byron Maczynski and Zach Fansler’s terms are ending this year, and neither of them have filed for re-election.
Fansler won the House District 38 Democratic Primary on Tuesday, and with no competitor, he’s expected to win the general election.

Bethel City Council elections are October 4.
