Not too far from a table with pamphlets and candidate petitions, City Councilor Bill Trotter mingles with supporters in the entryway to his home. He launched his re-election campaign with a kick-off party Nov. 29, the day before signed petitions were due at City Hall for verification. Trotter is the only incumbent vying for one of four open council seats.
