a special election for council president will be held this spring to fill the spot; four candidates filed and after a March 19 primary, two city council members, Randy Staver and Michael Wojcik, advanced to May 7 election.
"Currently, the Rochester City Council is one of the most conservative in the state. A victory in this race will begin the shift towards a progressive majority"
Here is info on Wojcik, but it doesn't matter because Wojcik quit to endorse Staver, but they are holding election anyway to make it official.
