Mayor Peoples will run against Jim Wright and Anne Day, who also filed for mayor of Tryon.

In Columbus, incumbents Rick McCallister and Margaret Metcalf both filed along with Josh Denton and Tommy Melton. The four who filed in Columbus will be running for three seats as the seat of Ernie Kan is up but she did not file for reelection this year.

Landry residents have until Aug. 7 at noon to file for elections, which can be done at Landrum City Hall.

As of Friday, July 19, incumbent mayor Bob Briggs was the only person to file in Landrum. His seat as well as the council seats of Jan Horton, Don Smith and Billy Inman are open this year.

There is not a primary election held for municipal elections that are nonpartisan. This year’s election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
