On the ballot

This person would serve a 4-year term on Lincoln's five-member City Council. Members are elected by district; the Council selects a Mayor each year by rotation rather than voters electing a separate mayor.

Incumbent Holly Andreatta faces business executive Christine Colvin Treshchuk for Lincoln City Council District 1. The higher vote total wins.

Lincoln's five councilmembers are elected by district to staggered four-year terms. The Council rotates the Mayor's role annually rather than voters electing a separate mayor.

This race contrasts an incumbent councilmember with a challenger emphasizing business leadership and financial planning.

Trade-offs

As the incumbent, she owns the Council's recent record and controversies.

Keep in mind

Mayor is a rotating role, not the office being elected here.

Christine Colvin Treshchuk

Her platform centers on fiscal stewardship, responsible growth, economic development, public safety and core services, and transparency.

Strengths

Long business-leadership and financial-planning experience paired with a specific five-part platform.

Trade-offs

Her ballot title says Chief Executive Officer, but the public campaign material does not identify the company.
