SOLON– Of the four elected city posts to be decided this November, only one will involve a contested race.
Incumbent Mark Krall, appointed to fill a vacated term, will face Chuck Panzer for a two-year term on the Solon City Council.
Two other council seats, both four-year terms, will be sought by Ron Herdliska and incumbent Brad Kunkel.
Council member Cami Rasmussen is the only candidate for mayor in the Nov. 8 general election, seeking to replace Rick Jedlicka, who announced last month he would not seek another term.
