 Well, five candidates for the Bemidji Ward 4 City Council seat have submitted their candidacy paperwork just one day after the filing period opened. They include James Ravnicker, Jim Thompson, Linda Lemmer, Patrick Plummer, and Richard Lehman. The application period is open through Monday, January 23rd. The special election will be held on February 14th. If none of the five candidates receive more than 50% of the vote, the top two candidates will then have a runoff election in March.
