On Nov. 5, York City residents can vote for two of four candidates seeking a four-year term on the York City Council.

Those choices include Manuel Gomez, a Libertarian and self-described "resident muckraker" who is "admittedly here to disrupt the status quo."

Cindy Martin, the lone Republican on the ballot, is a retired nurse who wants the city to get its property-tax rate under control.

Renee Nelson, a teacher who said she's comfortable in her role as a dissenting voice on the council, is seeking her second term as a Democratic councilwoman.

And, finally, Democrat Henry Nixon is also seeking a second term. He's a 43-year resident of the city who said he wants to make York City a happy place for his grandchildren.

That's a snapshot of the message each candidate delivered Monday to a small crowd gathered for a forum hosted by the York NAACP.

A fifth council candidate, David Satterlee, is unopposed in his bid for a two-year term.

Each candidate had only one minute to answer questions.

Some dissonance emerged between the three incumbent candidates and Gomez, who promised to bring a different philosophy to the council.
