We have a five person City Council. We have one independent who is really a Republican (they pulled this last time, too, but he had better name recognition so he won), we have two Democrats (one of whom is really a Republican and the party isn't supporting anymore), and then the two open seats. So what we really wanted was the two Democrats to win so we would have a majority on the City Council, which hasn't happened here in quite a while even though the city for almost 20 years now has voted overwhelmingly Democrat in federal and state elections.
