On May 5, 1998 Charlottesville held elections for two seats on the City Council.
City Council
| Candidates | Votes | % |
|---|---|---|
| David Toscano (D) incumbent | 2,589 | 57.55 |
| J. Blake Caravati (D) | 2,345 | 52.13 |
| Michael Crafaik (R) | 1,679 | 37.32 |
| James King (I) | 1,539 | 34.21 |
Voters could cast two votes, one for each of the two seats available, hence the percentages do not total 100%.

Issues
At a press conference in late March, Michael Crafaik called upon the City Council to hold a plebiscite on the Meadowcreek Parkway.
"Let's not put in the hands of three council members a decision so crucially important to many thousands," Crafaik said. [2]
