ROSWELL — Four candidates have qualified to run for the Post 1 Roswell City Council seat vacated earlier this year by Marcelo Zapata.
Zapata was on a medical leave of absence from the post for several months before his wife — who has power of attorney over him — resigned on his behalf in June.
An election to fill the seat for the remainder of Zapata’s term will be held Nov. 8.
The candidates running for the seat are:
Sarah Beeson, a small business executive who has lived in Roswell for five years.
Jason Miller, a small business owner who has lived in the city for two years.
Allen Sells, a finance professional who has lived in Roswell for 27 years.
Mulham Shbeib, a CFO who has lived in Roswell for 10 years.
