Three Council Races Set For Runoffs. District 6, 7, and 8 are still up for grabs, with the next vote coming up on June 10. District 7 pits incumbent Tiffinni Young against longtime candidate Kevin Felder. In District 8, it’s incumbent (and mayor pro tem) Erik Wilson against former councilman Tennell Atkins. And in District 6, given questions over mail-in ballots, it’s probably incumbent Monica Alonzo vs. Omar Narvaez, or maybe Alex Dickey. All the other incumbents won, save for Carolyn King Arnold in District 4, who lost her seat to her predecessor, Dwaine Caraway. So Come Go Fishing with Dwaine will have to again be put on hold.
