For The First Time In Living Memory, Democrats Will Aim To Sweep All Four Ward Seats On Lynchburg City Council

One incumbent and three challengers have successfully secured the Democratic nomination and will square off against Republican opponents for Lynchburg’s four ward seats in the upcoming November election for City Council.

The 5th District Republican primary will be one of the most contested in the nation. Five Republicans filed for the right to challenge Democrat Tim Kaine in the Senate race.

The deadline for filing for party nominations was Thursday. In Lynchburg, all four Democratic candidates for council are unopposed as are three Republican candidates. However, as expected, there will be a primary for the Republican nomination in Ward IV between incumbent Chris Faraldi and challenger Peter Alexander.
