Deputy Mayor and Ward 2 Coun. Shawn Lewis is seeking a third term representing the Argyle area ward at city hall but acknowledges he might run for the mayor’s office in a future election. “I’ve been asked to run for mayor by a number of people, [but] I just don’t feel the timing is right for me,” Lewis explained. “The time may come, but what I like about being the ward councillor is I get to keep my feet on the ground. I definitely want to continue serving my community in the Argyle area.” Lewis filed his nomination papers at city hall on Friday while recovering from a case of shingles that have made him temporarily light-sensitive and wearing sunglasses. The nomination period for the 2026 Municipal Election ends on Aug. 21. Also registered as a candidate for Ward 2 is Zack Ramsey. Election Day is Oct. 26.
