The races in Newton for mayor and city council have attracted the most interest by far. Three candidates are running for mayor – incumbent Eddie Haupt, business owner Jeff Allen
Incumbent Eddie Haupt is seeking his second term in office against Councilman Jerry Hodge and businessman Jeff Allen. Filing officially ends at noon on Friday.
A familiar face returned to the Maiden Town Council earlier this month when former Councilman Ronnie Williams was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Danny Hipps.
