Applicants have to apply by Dec. 9 on the city's website. Favor's seat on the council is available after she was elected to serve as Franklin County's next prosecutor.

Republican defense attorney John Rutan is running against Democratic Columbus City Councilwoman Shayla Favor to be the next Franklin County Prosecutor.

The next county prosecutor will either be Democrat Shayla Favor or Republican John Rutan. Both agree the policy of appointing special prosecutors needs to be clearer, but only one has taken a stance thus far.

Republican John Rutan vows not to quit after losing his party's support. He faces Democrat Shayla Favor in November's general election.

Favor won with 41% of the vote, according to unofficial voting results released through the Franklin County Board of Elections.

Prosecutor candidate Anthony Pierson's campaign passed out flyers to voters early Monday that said he was recommended by the county party's screening committee. He was, however, not endorsed by the party as a whole.

Shayla Favor, Natalia Harris or Anthony Pierson will face Republican John Rutan in the November general election.

Favor is joining three other candidates who have already announced their candidacy: Democrats Natalia Harris and Anthony Pierson and Republican John Rutan.
