Here’s who is running for Charleston City Council in November

CHARLESTON — The city doesn’t have a mayor’s race this year but half of Charleston’s 12 City Council districts are up, and a full slate of candidates jumped in ahead of the filing period that closed Aug. 18.

Only one incumbent is running unopposed and another announced she would not seek another term, which means there’s a chance of some turnover inside City Hall.

The election is Nov. 4.

Here’s who’s running and which geographic seats are on the ballot:

District 2: Political newcomer Abraham D. Champagne faces off against incumbent Councilman Kevin Shealy for this West Ashley district.

District 4: Artist Suzanne Allen, nonprofit executive Aaron Polkey and perennial candidate Luqman S. Rasheed are all vying to upset Councilman Robert M. Mitchell, the longest-serving member of council, for this seat located on the Charleston peninsula encompassing the Neck Area and most of the East Side.

District 6: Ben D’Allesandro, owner and manager of D’Allesandro’s Pizza, and Sarah Spangler, a health care strategist, are running against Councilman William Dudley Gregorie, who is another longtime incumbent, for this district that covers the West Side of the peninsula from Calhoun to Mount Pleasant streets.

District 8: Councilman Mike Seekings is running uncontested in this district that stretches along the lower peninsula and across the Cooper River to the eastern edge of Daniel Island.

District 10: William Connor, an engineer, is challenging incumbent Councilman Stephen Bowden for this seat representing outer West Ashley, mostly west of Bees Ferry Road.

District 12: Event planner and campaign strategist Annette Begner, marketing and media professional Deanna Miller, and sustainability nonprofit CEO Leslie Skardon are vying for this seat representing James Island.

Councilwoman Caroline Parker announced she will not seek re-election, but the slate of all-female challengers ensures that at least one woman will remain on council come November.
