Four Candidates Running for Council Seat in Brooklyn Park Special Election
Four candidates have filed to run in a special election to fill the vacant East district council seat in Brooklyn Park. The seat was vacated by Lisa Jacobson, when she was sworn in as Brooklyn Park mayor.
- Xp Lee
- LaDawn Severin
- Abraham Bah
- Benjamin Osemenam
Since more than 365 days remained on Jacobson’s term on the council, the city will hold a special election. The elected candidate will complete the remainder of Jacobson’s term, which expires December 31, 2024.
The Special Election Day will be February 8.
Because it’s a redistricting year, there are limitations on when an election can be held. The city amended the city’s charter to have a special election with no primary.
Absentee ballot voting begins on Dec. 27.
