Similar to at-large council members, districted council members have the ability to bring forward legislation, serve on committees, and cast votes during council meetings. However, rather than just representing the entire county like the five at-large council members, these council members represent the 15,000-17,000 constituents located within their district. This year, 17 of the 35 seats are open races with no incumbent running. This means that almost half of the council will be filled with brand new representatives. *Not sure what council district you're in?
