“I never take anything for granted,” Allen, who was first elected in 2017, said in a telephone interview Tuesday night. “I think there were good candidates out there, we got to know each other in various forums, and it will be a different council. We’re losing some experience on council.”
No matter what happens in the Nov. 2 municipal election, the seven-member City Council will look much different in 2022 because only one of City Council’s current members whose seat is on the ballot — Allen — chose to seek re-election.
That means there will be at least three new members of City Council in 2022.
