TN: How the Knoxville City Council races are shaping up for the November election

The Knoxville City Council's two incumbents up for reelection – Lynn Fugate and Amelia Parker – took the top spots in their respective primary races Aug. 29, but both face significant challenges in the general election Nov. 7. Fugate will face Cameron Brooks in at-large Seat A and Parker takes on Tim Hill in at-large Seat C.

All three council seats up for election this cycle are at-large, meaning the councilmembers represent the entire city, not just a portion of it like the six other district-elected members.

In the race for at-large Seat B, newcomer Debbie Helsley finished first by a huge margin and will face challenger R. Bentley Marlow.

Here's a look at who won, what they stand for and how the general election is shaping up.
