Incumbent Carol Berz easily held off former District 6 representative Marti Rutherford, who was trying for a comeback after giving up her post due to a residency flap.

Incumbent Linda Bennett finished 34 votes ahead of Deborah Scott in City Council District 1 and will face her in a runoff election on April 14. Joe Graham was third with 667 votes behind 906 for Ms. Bennett and 872 for Ms. Scott.

Veteran Leamon Pierce, who has been on the council since the new form of government was installed in 1990, was ahead of young challengers Andrae McGary and Dennis Clark. But he failed to get 50 percent plus one to avoid a runoff. He goes against Mr. McGary in the runoff.

There will also be a runoff in District 9 between attorney Peter Murphy and businessman J.T. McDaniel to replace Debbie Gaines.

George Patten was slightly ahead of Pam Ladd in early returns, then Ms. Ladd moved ahead in the race to replace Dan Page in District 3. Ms. Ladd, who operates her own cleaning service, won by 56 votes.

Incumbent Manny Rico won over challengers Clifford Eberhardt and Mahmood Abdullah in District 7.

Sally Robinson, Jack Benson and Russell Gilbert were unopposed.
