Lee Shewmake makes the case that 2012 is her year to knock off Marty Jewell in the 5th District in an interview posted on Byrd Park:

What has Jewell done well and not so for our community?

Councilman Jewell has, in the last few years, become more responsive to his constituents. He has elected to participate in some larger issues that have the potential to impact disadvantaged individuals. However, I believe his time spent on these issues have detracted from his ability to accomplish significant progress for the district.

Marty Jewell has held the office since 2005, and won re-election in 2008 with a plurality of the vote in a 3-way race. David Gammino, a former lawyer and currently the owner of the award-winning City & Guilds development company, has also announced his candidacy.
