St. Louis, MO – There will be at least one new face on the St. Louis County Council after next week's elections.

Third district councilman Skip Mange is stepping down after a four year term, and two newcomers are battling to fill the seat.

Republican Colleen Wasinger is a real estate attorney and alderwoman in Town and Country. Democrat Kathy Schweitzer is a real estate agent in unincorporated west county and founder of Habitat for Humanity's Re-Store.

The two spoke with KWMU's Bill Raack.
