CEDAR CITY — A total of 33 municipal candidates have filed for open seats in Iron County’s six incorporated cities and towns.
Each municipality announced its respective candidates on Tuesday, the day after Monday’s official filing deadline.
Among the Iron County candidates are three mayors who are running unopposed for re-election, namely Enoch Mayor Geoffrey Chesnut, Brian Head Mayor Clayton Calloway and Kanarraville Mayor Betty Gould.
Also seeking re-election is Cedar City Mayor Maile Wilson-Edwards, who is being challenged by Garth O. Green. Meanwhile, in Parowan, incumbent Mayor Preston Griffiths is being challenged by Vickie L. Hicks, while in nearby Paragonah, incumbent Mayor Todd Robinson is being challenged by Daniel K. Abbott.
Countywide, there are just two races that will require a primary: Cedar City Council has five candidates vying for two available council seats, while Parowan City has six candidates filed for two open seats. Both of those races will be narrowed down to the top four choices in the Aug. 10 primary.
As all of the municipal races are nonpartisan, party affiliations won’t matter in either the primary or in the general election on Nov. 2.
