7 things to look for in 2017What we reported

Last summer, Mayor Pro Tem Randy Pogue announced he would not seek re-election to his current at-large seat in the May city election, but would instead run for the mayor’s seat being vacated by Mayor Brian Loughmiller, who cannot run for mayor again due to term limits. Developer George Fuller has also filed for the mayor’s seat. Three council seats will also be up for grabs. Council members Travis Ussery and Don Day have also met their term limits in the District 3 and District 1 seats, respectively. Loughmiller could run for an at-large seat, although he said he does not plan to do so.
