With Election Day next Tuesday, voters in Tyrone, Peachtree City and Fayetteville will have plenty of candidates to choose from in the Nov. 5 election, with the council seats in each municipality featuring contested elections.

Voters in the races for two council seats in the Peachtree City will see multiple candidates on the ballot.

In the Post 1 race, the contest will feature incumbent Phil Prebor, Morgan Hallmon (retired) and Oobie Childs (home stager and Realtor).

The Post 2 race will include incumbent Mike King, Steven Newton (attorney) and Darryl Csicsila.

A runoff election will be required in Peachtree City unless one candidate for each seat gets 50 percent plus one.

In Fayetteville, the two council seats up for election will also see contested elections.

The Post 1 race, incumbent Harlan Shirley will face Darryl Langford (retired military) and Philip Onyedumekwu (cab driver), though he did not attend the recent candidate forum and has not responded to information requests by The Citizen.
