Residents of Lenawee County’s four incorporated cities — Adrian, Hudson, Morenci, and Tecumseh — have until April 22 to file nominating petitions if they want to run for city office.

In Adrian, a two-year mayoral term and three four-year city commission terms will be on the ballot this year. The current mayor is Angie Sword Heath. The city commission seats that are up for election are currently held by Kelly Castleberry, Gordon Gauss and Doug Miller.

Petitions must be signed by not less than 50 and not more than 100 registered voters who live in the city.

In Hudson, the city council seats held by Lisa Enerson and Daniel Schudel are up for election this year. Those are three-year terms. In addition, due to council member Sherry Kirkland planning to move out of the city, a one-year partial term will be on the ballot to replace her.

Nominating petitions in Hudson require not less than 50 and not more than 100 signatures from voters who live in the city.

In Morenci, the seats of Mayor Tracy Schell and city council members Kori Christle, David Lonis and Kandice Speiser will be on the ballot. Petitions must have the signatures of at least 25 city voters but not more than 50. 

In Tecumseh, the city council seats held by Gary Naugle, Vicki Riddle and Austin See will be on the ballot. Nominating petitions must have not less than 35 or more than 70 signatures.

For more information, including details on the qualifications required to hold office, interested residents should contact their city clerk’s office.
