"The word for Greensboro’s election season is primaries.
Enough candidates filed — 26 in all — to force primary elections in every race except District 2. The primary date is Oct. 8; the general election is Nov. 5.
The most crowded field is in the contest for three at-large seats — nine candidates. The primary will cut that number to six.
Former Mayor Yvonne Johnson is running for re-election to her at-large seat. Former Mayor Bill Knight is running in District 4.
Current Mayor Robbie Perkins faces two challengers, including Councilwoman Nancy Vaughan.
It should be a lively and fast-moving campaign season."
