Dayton voters face May runoff for city commission; mayor race set for November

Five people who want a seat on the Dayton City Commission had their candidate petitions approved on Tuesday, which means there will be runoff election less than two months from now.

The runoff election on May 6 will narrow the field from five to four, and the top four vote-getters will compete for two commission seats in the November general election.

The candidates are incumbent Commissioner Darryl Fairchild, and challengers Karen Wick, Darius Beckham, Charles Jacob Davis and Valerie Duncan.

The city commission definitely will get at least one new face next year since current City Commissioner Shenise Turner-Sloss has decided to throw her hat into the mayor’s race rather than to run for commission again.
