Kingfisher city residents will decide two races at the April 7 municipal election after the candidate filing period ended Wednesday.

Roxie Alexander, 67, 714 S. Main St., and Joy Ludwig, 39, 1105 Starlite Dr., both filed for the office of mayor.

Kyle Mecklenburg, 43, 1207 Stone Brook Dr., and Richard Ray Reynolds, 52, both filed for the office of commissioner.

Both offices are four-year terms.

Alexander and Ludwig are vying to succeed current Mayor Steve Richards, who is barred by the city charter’s term limits from seeking another term.

Alexander, a current city commissioner who also serves as vice mayor, would resign that post if elected.

In that case, City Manager Dave Slezickey said the commission would have the option of either appointing someone to complete Alexander’s remaining year in office or call a special election.

Mecklenburg and Reynolds are vying for the commission seat currently held by Tammy Mueggenborg, who is completing her second term and also barred from seeking re-election.
