Incumbent Paul Anderson faces three challengers in the nonpartisan primary race for Sparks City Council’s Ward 3.
Anderson was appointed in 2018 and elected for the first time in 2020.
Those seeking to unseat him are Marie Baker, Brad Fitch and Andrea Tavener. The closest to Anderson in fundraising is Fitch, who’s the top donor to his own campaign.
The primary is Tuesday, June 11. Early voting runs May 25-June 7.
- Who moves ahead to general election? If one of this ward’s council candidates gets more than 50% of the vote, they automatically are declared elected. If that doesn’t happen, the top two vote getters in this nonpartisan race will appear on the November ballot, according to the Sparks City Charter.
Where is Sparks Ward 3?
Ward 3 covers southeast Sparks.
It includes the more industrial parts of south Sparks around Spice Island Drive and Greg Street as well as north to the Sparks Marina and beyond to D’Andrea Parkway.
