Five additional candidates have qualified to run for Colorado Springs City Council since Tuesday night, bringing the total number of names on the ballot to 20.

On Friday afternoon City Clerk Sarah Johnson randomly drew the order candidates would appear on the April 1 ballot.

There are two districts that will vote on a head-to-head matchup between candidates. Three of the districts will see four or more candidates competing for a council seat.

This year’s election is guaranteed to bring significant turnover to the city as four of the six current district council members are either term-limited or chose not to run for reelection. The outgoing members are Randy Helms, Michelle Talarico, Yolanda Avila and Mike O’Malley.

Here are the names of the city council candidates as they will appear on the ballot.

District 1: Council member Dave Donelson will be seeking reelection over retired Air Force veteran Lee Lehmkuhl.

District 2: Frank Chrisinger, a nurse and Air Force veteran, will be running against Tom Bailey, the current chairman of the El Paso County Planning Commission.

District 3: The most competitive race is for the district covering downtown Colorado Springs. Brandy Williams is running to return to the City Council after serving from 2011 to 2013, then working as a city engineer for Fountain. Maryah Lauer, an organizer for Stop Cop City COS and a former intern for the council, has also filed to run.

The other three candidates for the seat are Richard Gillit, who ran for a seat on the Cheyenne Mountain School District board in 2023, Greg Thornton, a member of the Colorado Springs Parks Advisory Board, and former judo competitor Christopher Metzgar.

District 4: Four candidates are running to follow the term-limited councilwoman Avila. The four candidates in the race are Kimberly Gold, president of the Colorado Springs Black Chamber; Sherrea Elliott-Sterling, who ran for the Harrison School District 2 board in 2023; Chauncy Johnson, a community organizer who was involved with Stop Cop City COS; and Jeannie Orozco-Lira, former president of the Harrison School District board.

District 5: Nancy Henjum is running for reelection to the City Council against three other candidates. The challengers in the race are Cass Melin, who is on the board of directors for The Ridge at Sand Creek Metropolitan District, former Colorado Springs Police Department officer Christopher Burns and local business owner Jim Miller, who ran for mayor in 2023.

District 6: Financial adviser Aaron Schick is running against two local school board members to represent eastern Colorado Springs. One is Roland Rainey Jr., an Air Force veteran on the board of directors for Banning Lewis Academy, and the other is Colorado Springs School District 11 school board president Parth Melpakam.
