Lewis Reed

The St. Louis Democrat recently left the General Assembly after becoming the first person to serve two consecutive four year terms in the 5th District since J.B. "Jet" Banks.

Three candidates who planned to run for mayor of St. Louis failed to collect enough signatures to get on the ballot in March.

Candidates for mayor, comptroller and odd-numbered wards at the Board of Aldermen could begin filing the required paperwork to run for office Monday. The 2021 election will be the first under new rules established by the passage of Proposition D on Nov. 3. The posts are now nonpartisan, and voters can select as many candidates as they want in the March primary, a process known as approval voting. The top two advance to the April general election.
