In 2011, Diane Benedetti won by narrow margins in both the primary (against Randy Smith) and the general election (versus Tonye Rutherford); her margin of victory each time was fewer than 30 votes.
In 2015, Benedetti has a new challenger in the primary, while Rutherford offers the possibility of a fall rematch, although he faces a primary race, too.

As a two-term Democratic incumbent, Benedetti has a record to espouse and defend, and we'll get to that in time. She doesn't have an on-line campaign presence, at least yet.
Her opponent Dustin Collins has a Fb page. I don't know much about him. Anyone?
On the Republican side, neither candidate has an electronic campaign page. However, we know Burks for her unsuccessful bid in the 2014 school board election, and for her marriage to perennial GOP aspirant Steve "Any Office Will Do" Burks, who recently was gang-tackled by the central committee in route to register as a mayoral candidate, so as to give them time to convince Kevin Zurschmiede to evict the spa and get on with it.
Rutherford is one of three sitting Human Rights Commission members to declare for office. Less than two dozen votes separated Rutherford and Benedetti in 2011.
