The only contested race in the election is for the seat of Mayor. Incumbent King Rocker faces opposition from former councilman Bobby Anthony.

Council member Lee Ward Williams, Ward #1, is unopposed in his bid for re-election as is council member Darrel Clifton, Ward #2. Both names will appear on the ballot, however.
