BATAVIA – Steve Holland has filed to run as a write-in candidate in the April 9 consolidated election for the  7th Ward seat on the Batavia City Council.

Holland, who lives on Bird Lane, filed his paperwork Wednesday with City Clerk Heidi Wetzel. Last month, no one filed a nomination petition for the 7th Ward, where Alderman Dawn Tenuta is not running for re-election.

The Batavia City Council includes seven wards, with two people representing each ward. Candidates can file as write-in candidates until 4:30 p.m. on the 61st day before the election, which would be early February.
