ST. PAULS — In St. Pauls, the mayor’s seat is available in a special election while four of the six seats on the town’s Board of Commissioners are also up for grabs in this year’s election.

Former mayor Jerry Weindel is seeking to return to the position in a race to fill the unfinished term of former mayor Elbert Gibson, who died last year.

The District 2 Board of Commissioners seat is a contested race between incumbent Annie Stephens and challenger Mary Singleton. Incumbents John Gudauskas Jr., in District 1, Joseph Weindel, in District 3, and Donna Patterson, in District 4, are also running for reelection, and are each unopposed.
