Thirteen candidates filed this week for Oklahoma City Council seats in the Feb. 12 primary election.

Ward 2 in inner-northwest Oklahoma City and the central city's Ward 6 are open seats, while the councilmen in Wards 5 and 8 filed for re-election.

In Ward 2, there will be a five-way race for the seat being relinquished by Councilman Ed Shadid, who is retiring after two terms.

Filing were Suzanne Broadbent, 68, a member of the Historic Preservation Commission; James Cooper, 36, a teacher who is a trustee of the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority, and Mike Dover, 70, who is a member of the MAPS 3 Citizens Advisory Board.
