Non-incumbent candidate files to run for Frisco City Council, ensuring election (updated)

Editor's Note: This article was originally published at 5:36 p.m. March 1. It has been updated to reflect Greg Strange's candidacy change.
Harold Colvin has filed to run for Frisco City Council's Place 4, ensuring that a municipal election will take place on May 11.
Colvin will run against incumbent candidate John Keating, who has served on the council since 2010. Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Cheney will be the de-facto winner of Place 2 as no candidates filed to run against him.
The approval calls for early voting to take place at Fire Station Nos. 4, 5 and 7 as well as Collin College Preston Ridge. During early voting, Denton County voters are free to vote anywhere in their county.
On Election Day, Precinct 1 is set to vote at Pioneer Heritage Middle School, Precinct 2 at Staley Middle School, Precinct 3 at Wester Middle School and Precinct 4 at Hicks Elementary School.
In addition to approval of polling locations, council members also voted to hold a special bond election on May 11.
That bond election will seek voter approval for the soon-to-be-built Fire Station No. 8. If passed, voters will allow $8 million worth of general obligation bonds to be used for the station's construction.
On Election Day, voters within Frisco ISD's boundaries will also be voting for a Place 3 trustee on the school board.
Greg Strange had originally filed to run for Place 1, but he withdrew that paperwork an hour before the filing deadline and instead filed for Place 3. As a result, Strange will face incumbent Dan Mossakowski, who has served on the board since 2004.
Bryan Dodson, the person Strange was originally set to run against, will now be running unopposed for the Place 1 seat currently held by Brenda Polk. Before the filing period began, Polk announced she would not be seeking re-election.
No candidates filed to run against incumbent Renée Ehmke, the school board president, for the Place 2 seat.
