John Courage is the sitting District 9 councilman and represents much of the city’s North Side. The Air Force veteran, who was first elected in 2017, is now termed out from running in that seat again. Courage was one of the first members on the current council to announce his mayoral run last year. However, Courage bowed out of the race in December before making a last-minute change of heart to run before the filing deadline. His top issues include tax relief, services for seniors and affordable housing.
