Here’s who is on the ballot in West Point

WEST POINT — Seven candidates have filed to run for four seats on West Point Town Council in November’s election.

Incumbents Chris Vincent and Joseph Bartos will be contesting their seats on Nov. 5. Robert Lawrence and Vice Mayor Deborah Ball did not submit their names by the filing deadline of June 18.

Along with Vincent and Bartos, Wayne Healy, Samantha Bohannon, Tara Guaderrama, Allen White and Jeff Cole will appear on the ballot in West Point.

Guaderrama was a vocal opponent of the town’s new foul ordinance enacted earlier this year that imposed new rules over the keeping of birds in West Point.

West Point is governed by Mayor Joshua T. “Jack” Lawson and a seven-member Town Council elected to four-year alternating terms. The town is administered under a council-manager form of government. Council seats are at-large.

Cherwanna Braxton, Resa Reid and Nicole Sweetin filed their names for two school board positions that will be on the ballot in November. Braxton is running for re-election on the five-member board.
