City of Homer

Several elected officials’ terms in Homer are expiring this fall. Two spots on the Homer City Council will be up for grabs in October. Homer Mayor Bryan Zak’s seat will also be open this election cycle.

Candidates intending to run will be able to file with the city clerk’s office Wednesday.

Council members Donna Aderhold and Heath Smith are both finishing three years on the council. Smith says he is undecided whether he will run again. Aderhold declined to say whether she plans to run for re-election.

Mayor Zak, who was elected in 2016, says he plans to run for a second term. The candidacy-filling period will open up on Aug. 1 and will run through Aug. 15. Election day is on October 2.
