The number of people running for Sioux City Council seats this fall has risen to two.
Rick Bertrand, a Sioux City home and business developer and also a former state senator, announced his candidacy on Thursday.
Bertrand said the city council needs a new outlook to better boast the city, according to a release shared with metro news oulets.
There will be three city council positions with terms of four years that go before voters, for terms that will soon end for Councilmen Alex Waters, Dan Moore, and Matthew O’Kane.
Back on August 13, former Sioux City mayor Craig Berenstein became the first announced candidate.
Those three Sioux City Council contests may have a special extra primary election on October 7, if more than six candidates file papers by August 28.
