SPRINGFIELD — In Ward 6, incumbent Victor Davila is being challenged by attorney Mary Johnson for the City Council seat. The two were the top vote getters in the September preliminary race.

Davila has been the ward councilor since 2019. In the past year, one of the issues he has been focusing on is trying to expand the tax base by convincing more nonprofit groups to make payments in lieu of taxes.

Ahead of Tuesday, The Republican reached out to all candidates for the opposed City Council seats to answer a short questionnaire.
