Republican Party members nominated city residents Kenneth Jackson and Ann Reinicke Monday to represent the Charlottesville Republican Party in the upcoming City Council election in May.
Jackson and Reinicke will be up against Democratic incumbent Kevin Lynch and newcomers David Brown and Kendra Hamilton for the three open seats on the five-member City Council.
Current Council member Rob Schilling, who has sat on Council for two years, was the first Republican elected to Council in 16 years.
