Mayor Rod Woodbury is seeking re-election and is being challenged by Councilman Kiernan McManus.

In the council race, incumbents Peggy Leavitt and Rich Shuman are being challenged by James Howard Adams and Claudia Bridges.

We want to know what issues are on the minds of local residents. Please send questions you would like candidates to answer to us at news@bouldercityreview.com or drop them off at our office, 508 Nevada Way, Suite 1.

The deadline to accept questions will be noon Friday.

Also, the paper will provide all candidates the opportunity to answer several questions before the start of early voting, which starts May 25.
