With one day left in the filing period for local office, three more candidates added their names to the ballot.
There are two new candidates in the race for Chapel Hill Town Council: incumbent Jim Ward and challenger Adam Jones. Jones is a realtor; earlier this year he applied to be appointed to the Council to fill the seat left vacant by Matt Czajkowski when he stepped down to move to Africa. (The Council elected not to fill that seat.)
Ward and Jones are among eight candidates – so far – for four open seats. Incumbent Lee Storrow has also filed to run, as have challengers Michael Parker, Paul Neebe, Nancy Oates, Jessica Anderson, and David Schwartz. One more incumbent, Donna Bell, has not announced her intentions yet.
There’s also another candidate in the race for Hillsborough Board of Commissioners. Cindy Lee Talisman filed to run on Thursday; on Facebook she said she was running in response to the Board’s decision this week to take down the words “Confederate Memorial” from a public building downtown.
Talisman is the fifth candidate in the race for three open seats. Also on the ballot: incumbents Brian Lowen and Evelyn Lloyd, and challengers Mark Bell and Ashley DeSena.

The filing period ends on Friday at noon.
