The deadline to file was Monday at 5 p.m.
Candidate Chuck Brown said regardless of who grabs the seat it is important for everyone to rally around the winner.
“I think there’s some incredible candidates running for the mayor’s position and it just seems like either way it goes we’re going to be in pretty good hands if one of us is voted in to get that position,” Brown said.
Candidate Chama St. Louis said she has her blinders on and she’s excited for what’s ahead.
