There is one contested city council race in Pella this fall.

According to the official candidate list, Tony Bokhoven and Dan Spotten are on the ballot for the at-large seat occupied by Dave Vander Horst,-which he won’t be contesting. Mayor Jim Mueller announced his candidacy for mayor last month, and is currently running unopposed in this year’s election, as are two other council members: Larry Peterson and Harold Van Stryland.
