Voters in the upcoming Nov. 4 municipal elections in Oxford will have two choices for mayor and will choose from among seven candidates for four seats on the city’s board of commissioners.
According to information from the Granville County Board of Elections, Oxford Mayor Guillermo Nurse will face opposition from James W. Crawford, Jr. in the upcoming nonpartisan election.
The following individuals, listed in alphabetical order, have filed for seats on the city’s board of commissioners:
Quon Bridges (incumbent)
Scotty Brooks (incumbent)
Sandra Compton
Courtney Crudup
Kate Kelly

The top four vote-getters will win seats on the board, said Granville County Board of Elections Director Tonya Burnette.
In Stovall, Jeffrey G. Stovall is the lone filer in the mayor’s race. Mayor Mike Williford did not file for re-election.
