The following Republicans will be mounting challenges to Democrats on the City Council: Erin Domenech and Alexander Rodriguez in the 4th Ward; Matthew Orr and Delvin Rodriguez in the 5th Ward; Rachel Halas and Andrew Wetmore in the 6th Ward candidates; and Emile Buzaid Jr. and Rachel Chaleski will run for at-large representatives.
