Monday was the deadline for the latest round of campaign finance reports for candidates in the City of Livingston’s upcoming General Election. Residents of the city will elect a mayor and two “at large” council members on Nov. 5.
Incumbent Mayor Judy Cochran filed for reelection and is being challenged by Joshua Grant. Of the two “at large” council seats, one is presently held by Incumbent Alan Cook who filed for reelection. The other has been vacant since the resignation of Marion A. “Bid” Smith. Others who filed for election to the council include Jennifer Andjelic, Corey Dickerson and Andy Evans.
Four people vying for two “at large” council seats means that the top two vote-getters will be elected to the council.
