Three candidates have announced their intention to run for the vacant District 4 seat on the  Sandy Springs City Council.

Real estate professional Chiteka Jackson, local GOP consultant Gabriel Sterling, and self-employed businessman Dennis Williams all will vie to replace Ashley Jenkins, who resigned from the council on Jan. 21 to pursue a career in the travel industry.

The last day to qualify for the race was Friday.

The special election will be held on March 15. If needed, a runoff will take place on April 12.
