The candidates for Oak Ridge City Council include the three incumbents—Charlie Hensley, Chuck Hope, and Ellen Smith—and two challengers, Trina Baughn and Kelly Callison.
The candidates for Oak Ridge Board of Education include the two incumbents, Angi Agle and Keys Filauer, and challenger Leonard Abbatiello.
