If ever there was a sure bet, this is it: At least two Johns are destined to win seats on the Lemoore City Council, and at least two Johns are destined to end up losers.

Of the six people seeking three at-large seats on the city council, all but one are named John.

There's the incumbents, John G. Grego and John Murray, and there's the challengers, John Gordon, John Plourde and John W. Tyler. Oh yeah, there's the sixth guy: Billy Siegel, a non-John crashing the John party.
