Two of three Jersey Village City Council seats will be contested in the upcoming May 3 election, according to a Feb. 18 email from Jersey Village city officials.

On the ballot

James Singleton is running unopposed to replace Bobby Warren as mayor of Jersey Village. Warren has served as mayor for the last four years after serving two terms as a council member.

The candidates running to serve in council member places 2 and 3, currently held by Sheri Sheppard and Michelle Mitcham, respectively, will see competition as four people filed for the two open seats.
