The city council races include Ward 2 Position 2 between Bill Keeton and
Jeff Ballard; Ward 3 Position 1 between Barbara Spears and Duane Brewer; and
a Ward 3 Position 2 race between Todd Roark and Don Parrson.
Other Fordyce city candidates running in the primary election are Michael
Jackson Alderman Ward 1 Position 1, Melvin Collins for re-election to Ward 1
Position 2, Darrell Coston Ward 2 Position 1 and Tom Wynne for City

May and the only other race in Dallas County is for a city alderman position
in Sparkman. The Ward 1, Position 1 seat being sought by Ophia Blevins and
Mary Oliver.
