Charles Zollars, an Abilene resident for 39 years, will be vying for a post currently held by Councilman Stormy Higgins, who has chosen not to seek re-election.

Abilene businessman Kyle McAlister recently filed to also run for the seat.

In the race for Place 6, incumbent Kellie Miller has drawn a challenge from Steve Savage, owner of Stinky Steve’s Septic.
