Final Slate

Here is the final slate of candidates running for election this fall in Ruston:

  • Mayor: Bruce Hopkins, running unopposed
  • Council Position 1: Lyle Hardin, running unopposed
  • Council Position 2: Deb Kristovich and Kim B. Wheeler
  • Council Position 4: Bryan Ficiala, Jane Krock Hunt and Michael Wendell

The primary election will be held on Tuesday, August 18th for Council Position 4. The top two candidates will move on to the general election with the rest of the positions on November 3rd. Here's hoping for a spirited, civil election season in Ruston.

Finally! Now maybe we can get somewhere. This slate of (honest)canidates is the best we've had to choose from in 15 years. Way to go! Thanks to all that registerd.

Why are there 3 people running for one position and Hardin is running unopposed?

Shouldn't it be 2 people in every race?

I guess I don't understand the rules.

Each person decides which specific position they want to run for. Only the candidates themselves would have had the option to change which race they signed up for. Now that the filing period has closed, no one can make any changes.
