Roanoke Council Race Set After Low Turnout | Roanoke News
Description
Roanoke’s City Council race just got real: three Democrats—Raekwon Moore, Danny Clawson, and incumbent Vivian Sanchez-Jones—emerged from a surprisingly low-turnout primary to battle for three seats in November. With just 7,308 voters casting ballots (about 10% of registered voters), the August election date—delayed due to redistricting drama—may have dampened enthusiasm. But the winners are already strategizing: Moore wants to boost local education and job pipelines, Clawson’s laser-focused on housing and government transparency, and Sanchez-Jones is pushing hard on affordable housing solutions. When November 3 rolls around, voters will pick among seven candidates to fill those three open council seats. The race is on.
