The rest of November’s ballot in Northern Kentucky is now official.
The deadline to file for races that did not require participation in the May primary was 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Crowded fields emerged in Taylor Mill, Park Hills, and Villa Hills, three cities that have seen contentious meetings in the past year over various issues.
As of Tuesday morning, some competitive mayoral races emerged in Kenton and Campbell counties.
Councilman Jim Hummeldorf announced during Monday night’s city council that he will take on incumbent Fort Mitchell mayor Jude Hehman. The race will be a rematch of the 2014 campaign.
In Ludlow, Councilman Josh Boone will run against incumbent mayor Ken Wynn.
Elsmere Mayor Marty Lenhof will be challenged by Preston Ritter.
Taylor Mill Mayor Dan Bell will face Commissioner Sarah Frietch.
Villa Hills Mayor Butch Callery is being challenged by Heather Jansen.
Park Hills Mayor Matt Mattone followed Erlanger Mayor Tyson Hermes (whose city’s candidates filed earlier this year) in opting to run for city council instead of re-election as mayor.
In Campbell County, there will be mayoral races in Alexandria Highland Heights, Wilder, and Melbourne. Some cities failed to yield enough candidates to fill all their council seats, though.
Alexandria Mayor William Rachford will face Councilman Andrew Schabell.
Highland Heights Mayor Gregory Meyers will face a challenge from Councilman David Ramler, while Wilder Mayor Stanley Turner will face Councilman Bob Arnold. Melbourne Mayor Ronnie Walton will face David Charles King.
