There are five candidates running for four open seats on Amelia Village council. Only one incumbent is seeking reelection.

Derrick Campbell was appointed to council on Feb. 18, 2008. He is running for the office of village councilman because he sees it as a way for him to give back to the community and help make the village a better place to live and raise his children.

“I am currently a member of council and have been since February 2008,” said Campbell. “I helped guide the village through one of the toughest times in its history. I have been on the Amelia recreation committee for several years and am currently the council liaison to the committee.”
