Incumbents Erik Sten and Dan Saltzman both won re-election to positions 2 and three respectively. Both won outright by receiving over 50% of the vote in the primary, thereby avoiding a runoff. State RepresentativeRandy Leonard won a general special election for position 4 outright with over 50% of the vote due to the resignation of Charlie Hales, who later became Mayor.
