Fairfax City Council members Michael DeMarco, David Meyer and Ellie Schmidt all hope to become the City’s next mayor. Over the past few months, each has been campaigning for the job; and next Tuesday, Feb. 7, City residents will go to the polls and select one for mayor in this special election.
Assuming one of them wins – and not a write-in candidate – the City will then have to set a date for another special election to replace that person on the Council. The new mayor and remaining Council members will set that date together.
