Candidate lists for the consolidated election were unveiled in Edwardsville and Maryville Tuesday.
Mayor Hal Patton announced during the spring that he is not running for a third, four-year term as mayor. Two people filed for that seat, Stephanie Malench of Bring Your Own Glen-Ed, and Ward 7 Alderman Art Risavy. If Risavy is elected mayor, a special election will be held to fill his city council seat.
Seats in wards 2, 4 and 6 are up for grabs. In Ward 2, incumbent Jack Burns is running against newcomer Yolanda Crochrell. Aldermanic terms are for four years. The odd-numbered ward seats will be up for re-election in April 2023.

EDWARDSVILLE As discussed earlier this year, the city has been planning to refund fees it assesses for Class B, C and G2 liquor license holders for the 2020 calendar year that are still selling or serving alcohol as of Dec 15, the anticipated date of the related resolution’s passage.
The finance committee discussed and voted in favor of the resolution at its Tuesday meeting. Finance Director Jeanne Wojcieszak said the total amount refunded is $40,000. The exception is any such establishment found liable for city ordinance violations in 2020.
