The next Mansfield City Council will face a lot of important decisions. Races for four of those council seats, roughly half of the legislative body, will be decided Nov. 2.

Voters in wards 1, 3 and 5 will pick a council member. Citywide, an at-large member will also be elected.

After our Talk the Vote listening tour with voters, we will invite all eight candidates to join us at Idea Works for an informal discussion, sharing what we have learned from you and asking them to share their own thoughts.
