ST. GEORGE — Four St. George Council races are unopposed after a candidate for the District 2 council seat dropped out of the race.

According to the Secretary of State's Office, William "Bill" Brigman, an independent, dropped out of the race, leaving Republican Steve "Chilli" Monachello unopposed for the District 2 seat.

Candidates in three other districts — Districts 1, 3 and 5 — also are unopposed. Richie Edmonds, Max Himmel and J. Andrew Murrell, all Republicans, are the only candidates.

The District 4 race has four candidates: Republicans Patricia "Patty" Cook and Justin Turner, and independents David Madaffari and Shannon Powell. 

Five people — Republicans David Dellucci, Scott Emonet, William "Bill" Johannessen and Jim Talbot, and Democrat Shaunn Wyche — are running for two at-large council seats.

The March 29 election also saw a shakeup on Tuesday when Jim Morgan dropped out of the mayoral race after The Advocate questioned him about a prostitution solicitation arrest from nearly 30 years ago. St. George's interim Mayor Dustin Yates is now running unopposed.
