The Culver City Council Race has begun with three open positions. Incumbent Luke Middleton is retaining his seat, and newcomer Tim Woods is running unopposed for the second seat. Two newcomers are competing for a third seat, Matt St. Clair and Dave Beck.
The race will be on the November ballot for those within Culver, and the Madras-Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce will hold a forum for the Mayoral and Council race at Culver City Hall on Oct. 12 at 5:30 p.m.
