As of September 13 one candidate per office had picked up a petition to run in Maplewood — one for each ward and one for mayor.

The terms of council members David Cerven (Ward 1), Fred Wolf (Ward 2) and Shawn Faulkingham (Ward 3) expire in April 2017; so does Mayor Jim White’s, who has served the maximum of two terms.

Faulkingham picked up a petition last week for Ward 3 council member. Ward 3 council member Barry Greenberg picked up a petition to run for mayor.

Patrick Jugo picked up a petition to run for mayor on Nov. 1.

Ward 1 council member David Cerven picked up a petition to run again for that seat last week, he said in an email. On Nov. 1, Steven Moseley also announced his intention to run for the Ward 1 seat.

Andrew Bolin picked up a petition to run for Ward 2 council member, according to the city clerk. Bolin ran for Missouri State Rep. District 83 in 2014 as a libertarian. That race was won by Democratic Party incumbent Gina Mitten. Bolin announced he is dropping out of the Ward 2 race in mid-October.

MRH Board Director Ray Crader announced in October that he would also run for city council for Ward 2.

Ward 1 is west of Big Bend, Ward 2 is east of Big Bend and north of Manchester, Ward 3 is east of Big Bend and south of Manchester. See a map of Maplewood wards.

Potential candidates need to get a petition from the deputy city clerk at city hall, 7601 Manchester Road. The last date for candidates to file their petition is Nov. 22 at 5 p.m. The first day they can be turned in is October 18.

You must be a qualified voter of the city of Maplewood, a resident of the city for at least one year prior to the election (April 4, 2017, though the city website has the date as Feb. 7) and a resident of the ward you seek to represent.
