Also on Wednesday, Chris Summers qualified to seek Post 3 on the Watkinsville City Council, and Peter Steckel qualified for Post 4.
On Monday, Brett Thomas had qualified for Post 3, and incumbent Christine Tucker had qualified for Post 4.
On Tuesday, Jeff Campbell withdrew his qualification for Post 3, currently held by his wife, Marci Campbell, who is not seeking reelection, and qualified for Post 5

Lee,
Thank you for the update. Watkinsville Post 4 Candidate Peter Steckel's address of 54 South Main Street is shown as being owned by Laura Smith, who is the wife of Watkinsville Mayor Bob Smith. Are you aware of any other situation where a City's Mayor is the landlord for one of its City Council Members?
