Crestwood Mayor Roy Robinson is unopposed in his bid for a second term in the Tuesday, April 8, election while Sunset Hills Mayor John Hunzeker will face two challengers — an incumbent alderman and a former alderman.

Filing for the April 8 election ended Jan. 22. Besides the mayoral races in Crest-wood and Sunset Hills, aldermanic seats are up for election in Green Park and Sunset Hills.

Three seats on both the Lindbergh and Mehlville boards of education also are up for election April 8.

Crestwood

Robinson was the only candidate to file for the mayoral post. He was elected mayor in 2005. The seat carries a three-year term.

Aldermanic seats are up in each of the city’s three wards. In Ward 1, the seat held by Judy Betlach, who recently resigned, is up for election. Aldermanic seats currently held by Jackie Wilson in Ward 2 and Fred Baras in Ward 3 are up for election. Wilson and Baras have filed for re-election.

The Board of Aldermen has appointed Carol Hamilton, 9924 Slevin Lane, to the Ward 1 seat until the April election. She previously had filed for the Ward 1 seat.

Also filing for the Ward 1 seat was former Alderman Bob Reinagel, 10957 Suanis Court. Reinagel, who was elected in 2005, was defeated last year in his re-election bid by current aldermanic President Anthony Pousosa.
