CHAMPAIGN – Champaign voters will see a Feb. 27 primary for the city  
council, after 10 candidates filed petitions for the three at-large  
seats being contested.

The primary will narrow the field to the top six candidates, who will  
then face off in the April 17 municipal election. Monday was the last  
day that council candidates could file petitions to seek office.

In District 4, council appointee Marci Dodds, running for a two-year  
term, faces no opposition.

Candidates running for the at-large seats, where candidates run  
citywide, include incumbents Tom Bruno and Giraldo Rosales and  
council appointee Deborah Frank Feinen, who was named to the council  
in August. Other candidates include former county board chairwoman  
Patricia Avery, Freddie Gordon, Annette B. Williams, Bill Glithero,  
David Short, Michael Henley and Karen Foster.


Williams, 62, is a retired elementary teacher who currently works as  
a telemarketer. A member of the Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort, a local  
peace group, she said she was encouraged by fellow activists to run.  
She opposes cuts to the township welfare program, called general  
assistance
