Mayor Don Reimal will run unopposed for a second term as Independence mayor in April’s election.
Reimal was the only resident to submit a nominating petition for the mayoral seat.
Nominating petitions were due by 5 p.m. Friday for the seat and the two at-large council member seats.
Only three residents filed for the two at-large council member seats, which means a primary election will not take place in February, according to City Clerk Jane Pickett Sharon.
At-Large Council members Jim Schultz and Lucy Young both filed for re-election, and political newcomer Elisa Breitenbach also submitted a nominating petition.
The Jackson County Election Board will now certify the nominating petitions.
The general election will take place April 6, 2010.
