Woodside Mayor Jenn Wall and Council member Paul Goeld are seeking reelection in the upcoming November election. The town is seeking to fill three open seats for Districts 1, 4 and 5. 

Wall has been on the council since 2020 as a District 1 member and is now pursuing her second term. Goeld was elected in a special election for a two-year term in 2022 to fill a vacant position. He currently serves as the 4th and 5th district member at-large but has previously served on the council from 1999 to 2007.  Goeld has filed to run for District 4 in November. 

The Town Council, which was formerly a seven-member body, is making the move to five members when it switched from the old “from-district” to a “by-district” elections system beginning in 2022.

Wall and Goeld will need to file their nomination papers by Aug. 9 to qualify for candidacy. The town is still seeking a third potential candidate. If papers are not filed by the deadline, the nomination period will be extended to Aug. 14 for non-incumbent candidates.  

Information on candidates is updated daily at 5 p.m. on woodsideca.gov.
