JACKSON -- Only incumbents were interested in the six city offices open in the April election.

The filing deadline for the officers of mayor, four aldermen and city collector was Tuesday, but no procrastinating politicians made 11th-hour visits to city hall.

Mayor Paul Sander was the first to announce he would seek a second term. He served seven years ass an alderman before running for mayor in 1993.

Ward I Alderman David Hitt, Ward II Alderman Kevin Sawyer, Ward III Alderman Val Tuschhoff and Ward IV Alderman Jack Piepenbrok all followed Sander.

Also running for re-election is City Collector Beverly Nelson, who served 20 years as a secretary in the collector's office before winning her seat in 1991.
