ESTEVAN - Another member of Estevan city council has entered the race to be the next mayor of Estevan.

Coun. Rebecca Foord filed her nomination papers at city hall Thursday morning. She joins a race that also includes Coun. Tony Sernick and first-time candidate Zacch Vandenhurk.

Mayor Roy Ludwig has previously stated he won't seek re-election, after serving as mayor for 12 years and as a member of city council for 30. 

As of Thursday morning, four candidates - incumbent Councillors Shelly Veroba and Kirsten Walliser, former councillor Brian Johnson and first-time candidate Robin Wog - had filed papers for councillor. 

The deadline to file a nomination paper is Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. Candidates will then have 24 hours to withdraw from the race. 

The civic election is set for Nov. 13.
