Three incumbents have already won in uncontested races, but new council members will hold at least eight seats.
Three seats are already set for the next four years, as council members Kevin Carrico, Nick Howland and Matt Carlucci will maintain their uncontested seats.
Some of those races do have familiar names, like in District 1 where former First Coast News anchor Ken Amaro, a Republican, faces Democrat Alton McGriff Jr.Other races in districts on the west side of the St. Johns river look different than expected when City Council voted on a map last March. District 7, previously encompassing downtown, Springfield and parts of northern Jacksonville now extends from Springfield to Ortega and includes almost the entire Urban Core. The current District 7 Council member, Reggie Gaffney Jr., resides in the new District 8, leaving the seat open.
Voters elected Clark-Murray in August in a special election to replace Garrett Dennis, who resigned to run for state office. She currently has the least amount of campaign funds in the race, but she also had the least in the special election she ultimately won.
