All three candidates have filed for re-election and will be joined on the ballot by six other candidates running for the general election. City Council places in Joliet.

Monday was the last day to file nomination petitions to get on the ballot for the April 1 municipal election.

Only the three elected citywide council seats will be on the ballot in Joliet. The mayor and five district council seats will be up for election in 2027.

Incumbent council members Joe Clement, Cesar Guerrero and Jan Quillman have filed petitions for re-election. Quillman is the longest serving member of the board. Clement and Guerrero are in their first terms.

Also for the elections there were:

• Damon Zdunich, Joliet businessman and former city council candidate

• Larry Crawford, a truancy specialist at Joliet Grade School District 86 and also a former board candidate

• Teamsters member and former business owner Juan Moreno is making his first run for public office

• Jim Lanham, a security contractor who has run for council before and is currently running unsuccessfully as a Republican candidate for the state legislature in the 86th House District in the Nov. 5 election

• Marzell L. Richardson III, Joliet restaurant owner

• Joliet Housing Authority Board of Commissioners Glenda Wright-McCullum, who previously ran for city council

Who gets the coveted top and bottom spots on the ballot will be determined by a lottery on November 26.

Clement, Crawford and Zdunich were all early adopters, and the lottery will determine which one will be at the top of the ballot.

Quillman, Guerrero and Wright-McCullum all filed at the end of the month, and a lottery will determine which one appears at the bottom of the ballot.
