Bangor voters will have nine City Council candidates vying for their support this fall.

This year’s ballot, confirmed following Tuesday’s deadline for candidates to submit petitions, will feature the biggest pool of City Council candidates since 2019 . The nine candidates will have two months to convince voters to choose them for one of three open seats.

The group is also one of Bangor’s most inexperienced fields of candidates in recent years. This is the first time in at least 10 years that no incumbent councilors are running for re-election, according to the Bangor Daily News archives.

The candidates are Daniel Carson, Justin Cartier, Susan Faloon, Steven Farren, James Gallagher, Colleen O’Neal, Reese Perkins, Angela Walker and Richard Ward.
