He was originally set to face former City Councilman Jean Marcellus, who had previously run in the 2013 and 2014 elections.^[1] However, after qualifying ended, Marcellus was disqualified from the race after the $2,400 check he wrote to qualify for office was returned for insufficient funds.^[2] Accordingly, Joseph won his second term unopposed.^[3]
