All incumbent Fishers City Council members have officially filed for re-election, as expected, and at least one election rematch is assured in the May Republican primary election for the Northwest District.
Selina Stoller filed for re-election, which sets the stage for another race with former Fishers Town Council member Mike Colby. In Fishers’ first city election, held in 2014 for one-year transitional terms, Stoller won that Northwest District election by 12 votes. In the 2015 election for four-year council terms, Stoller received 524 votes to Colby’s 329, a margin of victory totaling 195 votes. Now, Stoller and Colby will face each other for a third time.
Rich Block officially filed his candidacy for another term as an at-large city councilman. Block is expected to be elected as Fishers City Council President at the Jan. 22 session.
There are three at-large council members: Cecilia Coble, Todd Zimmerman and Block. In the primary election, the three candidates with the most votes are placed on the general election ballot.
No Democrats have filed candidacy in the city primary election as of Friday.
With the latest filings, all incumbent Fishers City Council members are seeking another term in office.
No candidates have filed for Fishers mayor as of press time. Incumbent Mayor Scott Fadness has announced his plans to seek another term. Logan Day has formed an exploratory committee for a possible Fishers mayoral candidacy.
