I think the Republicans might pick up another seat with this one, though.<br /><br />I think the incumbents will win in all wards, although, I hear there is some discontent with Shannon. Still, I think she will probably hold on to her seat.<br /><br />And Haik seems to think that Knodell is going to have a challenge with David Rogers. The voter turn out is so low in ward 2 that, in theory, someone could oust an incumbent if they were able to get out the vote, as they say.

Shannon has a good chance of also keeping her seat, but I think that a strong candidate could beat her.<br /><br />At this time, I think that Dick Bove would be the best choice in Ward 1. For my ward, Ward 7, I would not be surprised if there is a run-off between Gutchell and Blais. I also believe that Ellie Blais has a good chance of winning back her seat in Ward 7.<br /><br />These are just my initial thoughts and may change as the election progresses. Great news that there is choice in all wards this year!
