Councilmember Robert Bruce, appointed in October 2025, is challenged by Cullen Bieger in the Feb. 10 special election for Norman Ward 3. The election follows Bree Montoya's resignation. The winner will serve until July 2027.

Bruce emphasizes community safety, while Bieger prioritizes transparency and accountability. Both candidates support a public vote on significant city projects, including the proposed TIF for a new basketball arena and a homeless shelter bond proposal.
