Four candidates are seeking seats on the council, which will be decided during the Nov. 2 election. Megan Alter, Jason Glass, and Iowa City Mayor Bruce Teague are all seeking At-Large seats. Shawn Harmsen is the only candidate seeking the District B seat as the incumbent, Susan Mims, is not seeking re-election.
