The Valley Line West LRT expansion, infill, spending and “core services” are key issues to watch in northwest Edmonton’s Ward Nakota Isga race this fall.
TUPELO â¢Â Incumbent Ward 3 Councilman Travis Beard, who is currently running for re-election, filed his required ethics form past the statutory deadline, skirting a provision of the stateâs ethics laws.
State law requires candidates running for public office to file a statement of economic interest with the State Ethics Commission within 15 days after the qualifying period ends. The qualifying deadline was Feb. 5, which means the deadline for candidates to submit their economic interest forms was on Friday, Feb. 20.
However, thereâs a slight loophole in the timeline for submitting the form. Although the stated deadline for candidates to file is Feb. 20, the law also allows incumbents to submit the form no later than May 1, giving incumbents running for re-election two possible deadlines to submit the form.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - A Democratic candidateâs qualifications to run for Hattiesburg City Council in the April primary are being challenged by a resident of the ward he seeks to represent.
Joseph Lanford filed the petition in Forrest County Circuit Court on Friday challenging the Democratic Executive Committee of Hattiesburgâs decision that Bradly James Pope Parker is a qualified candidate for Ward 4 councilman.
Lanford, a Ward 4 resident, alleges Parker has not been a resident of Hattiesburg for two years immediately preceding the primary election date in accordance with a Mississippi law passed in 2019 that went into effect in 2020.
