DANVILLE, CA — The deadline for non-incumbent candidates to file nomination papers to run for a seat on the Danville Town Council has been extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, the town announced.

Under state election law, the filing deadline is extended when an eligible incumbent does not file for re-election. As of Aug. 7, three candidates have filed to run: incumbent Vice Mayor Robert Storer, Denton Carlson (the retired San Ramon Police Department chief), and Pratima Sonavne. Incumbent Councilmember Karen Stepper announced in April that she would not seek re-election.
