Last Saturday, June 11, 2011 city voters in District 1 and 5 went out to vote for their representatives in a run off because a clear victor was not able to muster enough votes in these two districts in the May elections.
District 1 had an incumbent defending her ability to lead the district for another term. District 5, on the other hand, had new faces looking to occupy the seat.
