If you live in Wards 3 or 4 in Ann Arbor, there'll be a contested City Council race on the ballot for you to decide in the Aug. 6 primary.
Still don't know who to vote for? The first candidate forum of the season is this Saturday and it should offer a glimpse into what each candidate is all about.
Confirmed participants include six Democrats running for City Council this year, including Julie Grand and Stephen Kunselman, who are doing battle in the 3rd Ward, and Jack Eaton and Marcia Higgins, who are competing in the 4th Ward.
Grand, chairwoman of the city's Park Advisory Commission, is trying to unseat Kunselman, who is seeking a fourth two-year term on council.
Eaton, a labor attorney and longtime neighborhood activist, is trying to unseat Higgins, who has been on council since 1999 — first as a Republican and now a Democrat.
Other candidates expected to attend Saturday's forum include 1st Ward incumbent Sabra Briere and 2nd Ward hopeful Kirk Westphal, though neither faces an opponent in August. Westphal is expected to face off against Independent incumbent Jane Lumm in November.
The forum is being moderated by Mike Henry and Kyle Hunter. The event starts with a light breakfast at 9:30 a.m. with candidates taking the stage at 10 a.m.
