Eight Harrisburg residents are running for three openings on Harrisburg City Council in the primary election on May 16, pledging to tackle issues such as affordable housing, public transit, blight and public safety. All are Democrats; no Republicans are running, which is usually the case in Harrisburg, where a large majority of voters are Democrats. In most primary elections, both Democrats and Republicans run, with the primary serving to select the candidates from each party who will face off in the November general election.
