Two incumbent city commissioners are facing multiple challengers in their 2020 election bids.

Four people have filed to run against City Commissioner Curtis Richardson, seeking his third term after being elected in 2014.

Also, Elaine Bryant, appointed to the seat once held by former commissioner Scott Maddox, faces three other candidates in her first election. Maddox was removed from office after pleading guilty in a federal corruption probe of City Hall.

Richardson faces opposition from several community activists, including one who applied for Maddox’s seat last year, a former Frenchtown business owner and a Kearney Center employee.

Bryant's challengers include a college freshman, and several community advocates.

Among the candidates for City Commission Seat 2 are:

Trish Brown is a community organizer and activist for the Florida People’s Advocacy Center. She has been vocally opposed to the recent hiring of Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell.

Lynette Halter is a volunteer and poll worker who applied to replace Maddox last year after he was suspended by the governor.

Curtis Richardson is the incumbent who has been elected twice to the City Commission and has been a vocal supporter of Tallahassee’s southside.

Geraldine Seay was the owner of Frenchtown jazz café B Sharps.

Bill Schack is the food service director at the Kearney Center, Tallahassee’s homeless shelter. He ran against City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow in 2018 but came in third during the primary.

Here are the candidates for City Commission Seat 1:

Elaine Bryant is a management consultant and president of E.W. Bryant Associates. She is the incumbent after being appointed a year ago to replace Maddox.

Jacqueline "Jack" Porter served as the commissioner on the Tallahassee/Leon County Commission on the Status of Women and Girls from 2016-2019.

William Moore V is a freshman at Florida State University majoring in neuroscience. He graduated from Leon High School last year.

Jermaine Miller is a homelessness and local youth mentor.
