Only one of three Bettendorf City Council seats will be contested in the upcoming November 5 municipal election.
Three candidates have filed to replace Alderman At-large Tim Stecker, who is not seeking another term on the council.
Those filing to replace Stecker are: Kurt Whalen, of 2733 Heather Lane; Gary Mohr, of 4755 School House Road; and Chad Miller of 4340 Tanglewood Road.
Second Ward Alderman Scott Naumann and Fourth Ward Alderman Greg Adamson filed for re-election and are unopposed.
The deadline for filing was Sept. 19.
Whalen was an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention in 2012 and supported Rick Santorum in the Iowa caucuses.
Miller has been a vocal opponent of the city's bike trails, in particular the portion of new Crow Creek Trail which extends across his property.
Mohr was campaign chair of Bob Gallagher's 2011 mayoral campaign and currently is treasurer of the mayor's campaign committee. He currently is chairman of the Riverboat Development Authority (RDA), the organization which holds the gambling license for the Rhythm City Casino in Davenport.
