Candidates for city council seats file for 2-year terms

Wayne voters will be asked to choose city council members from three wards in the city during the November election.

Each of the terms is for two years ending in 2024 when all seven city elected positions will be on the ballot. Voters opted to terminate the current ward system during the last election, prompting the two-year ward terms on the ballot this year. 

In Ward 4, Deborah Wass is unopposed for the council term; in Ward 5, Eric Cleerman, a member of the Wayne Commission on Aging, and Rabih Darwiche have filed nominating petitions seeking the term. In Ward 6, Mathew Mulholland and incumbent Philip Wagner will be on the ballot.

The Wayne City Council election is non-partisan.
