Sixteen candidates have qualified as candidates for four Huntington Beach city council seats in the Nov. 8 general election, but the filing period has been extended until Wednesday at 5 p.m. because an eligible incumbent council member – Kim Carr – didn’t file for re-election.

Carr is the Democratic candidate for the 36th District state Senate District seat, facing Republican nominee Janet Nguyen.

Two have qualified for the city attorney position: incumbent Michael Gates and challenger Scott Field.

According to the city clerk’s office, the council field – so far – is as follows:

• Bobby Britton
• Brian Burley
• Patrick Burns
• Gina Clayton-Tarvin
• David Clifford
• Vera Fair
• Jeffrey Hansler
• Amory Hanson
• Jill Hardy 
• Kenneth Inouye
• Robert Reeder
• Oscar Rodriguez
• Tony Strickland
• Gabrielle Samiy
• Gracey Van Der Mark
• Mike Vogler.
