DOVER — William “Bill” Hare, who serves as president of Dover City Council, has filed a nominating petition, which has been received and verified by the city clerk in seeking re-election for his 2nd District seat on council.

Councilman Hare is in his second go-round as a representative for the 2nd District, having also served on council from 1991 until 1997. He has been a resident of the city of Dover for more than 40 years.

At-large Councilman Tim Slavin has announced he will not seek re-election, while the seats of Gerald Rocha Sr. (1st District representative) and David Anderson (4th District) will be up for election for another four-year term on city council. The term of office for the winners will be May 10, 2021, through May 12, 2025.

There will also be a special election to fill the 3rd District seat that was vacated by Scott Cole after he recently moved to Smyrna. This spot will be a two-year term.
