Justin Howard Cribbs and Wanda J. Laning have qualified for the March 19 special election in Springfield.
They’ll be running for the City Council seat left vacant when Troy Allen moved out of the city.
Cribbs, 36, is a chemist at Intercat in Pooler. Laning, 53, said she is a stay-at-home wife. She has run unsuccessfully for City Council and for mayor in Springfield.
Allen submitted his resignation on Jan. 17. He began serving on the council in 2008 and was scheduled for re-election in November 2015. His term ends Dec. 31, 2015.
Jeff Ambrose also recently resigned as a Springfield council member because he moved out of the city and into the county. Katherine Pridgeon has been appointed to finish his term, which ends in December 2013.
