Election season got of to a start Wednesday as the city officially opened the filing period for the spring city council races. This year, Denison voters will choose who should fill three seats on the council, including the mayoral position.
At least one seat will change by default due to term limitations. Meanwhile, another race is contested on the first day of filing while candidates for the third position remain unknown.
Denison City Clerk Chris Wallentine said the first candidate to file in this year s election was Mayor Janet Gott who is seeking reelection to the city s highest position. This was followed by Albert Gilbert who will be challenging Gott for her seat on the council.
