Councilman's wife looks to unseat him in election

A city councilman in Bremerton, Washingon learned this week that he has a challenger looking to unseat him.

His wife.

Roy Runyon, the incumbent, is running against Kim Faulkner, to whom he has been married for 12 years, NBC affiliate KING5 reported.

"I just sat down and said, 'I think the City of Bremerton for District 6 needs more qualified people to run for office and i'm going to put my name in the hat,'" Faulkner said.
