Four Candidates File For Council, Mayor Races
No new faces for Mayor, three open Town Council seats
Four candidates filed papers to run for Vienna Mayor and three open Town Council seats this May — all of them incumbents with no challengers.
Mayor Jane Seeman and town council members Laurie Cole, Edythe Kelleher and Mike Polychrones will all run for re-election May 1. No other candidates had filed papers by Tuesday's deadline, according to the Fairfax County Office of Elections.
Three council seats are open each May. The Mayor, the seventh council member, is elected in even-numbered years.
