Seven positions are up for the taking on the Racine Common Council in the spring election on April 5, but only five people have submitted campaign registration papers.

The even numbered seats will be on the ballot, which are currently held by:

  •  Mollie Jones, 2nd District Alderman
  • Jim Kaplan, 4th District Alderman,
  • Sandy Weidner, 6th District Alderman
  • Q.A. Shakoor, 8th District Alderman
  • Dennis Wiser, 10th District Alderman
  • Henry Perez, 12th District Alderman
  • Ronald Hart, 14th District Alderman

All of the incumbents, except Jones, Kaplan and Wiser returned their campaign registration papers. Political newcomer Jen Adamski-Torres also returned her campaign registration papers. The filing deadline to return the campaign registration papers is 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 5 to file them.

The Common Council positions pay $6,900 per year.
