ST. CHARLES, Mo. — A three-way special election Tuesday will fill the Ward 4 seat on the St. Charles City Council following the death of Councilman Scott Shipman in May.

The candidates listed on the November 3 ballot are Tom Bruening, Brett Larkin and Steven Felder. The election is for the unexpired term, and only eligible voters in Ward 4 will decide the contest.

The St. Charles County Election Authority's voter guide includes information submitted by the candidates and makes clear that the county does not endorse or fact-check campaign responses. Voters are encouraged to read the statements and determine which candidates best reflect their priorities.

The winner will join the council as the city continues work on major downtown infrastructure, new municipal facilities and neighborhood services.
