The positions currently held by Eric Diaz, Jared Gordon and Maegan Frische are up for election this year. Diaz and Gordon both filed to run for reelection, but Frische is not on the ballot this time. They are being joined on the ballot by Rayna Crabtree, who also ran a year ago, and Sheldon Keeton. Since the seats are all at-large, the three candidates who receive the most votes will be elected.
