Four of the eight city council members ran unopposed, with three of those being incumbents.[5][4]
Ward 1
Leading up to the election, two lawsuits were filed against Clemon Byrd, claiming that his house was not in the boundary lines of Ward 1.[6] The first lawsuit was dismissed following advice from attorney John Michael Segrest that the Lee County Circuit Court does not have the ability to remove a candidate's name form the ballot.[7][8] The second lawsuit, filed by the Dowdell family, was dismissed in September 2014.[9][10]
