District 4 only competitive race

Of the three city council seats that are up, (4, 5, 6), only District 4 features a competitive match up between Vic Linoff and Christopher Glover. Higgins and Somers were both let off without a challenger, which some will take to mean that they are doing a great job, while others will consider it a case of voter apathy.

The Republic is featuring articles from both Linoff and Glover on why they would be best for the council. District 4 is the downtown Mesa district and it typically has the lowest turnout of the entire city. It will be interesting to see how much attention this race gains in the busy primary elections.
