councilpersons
Local governing members
Councilpersons is the plural of councilperson, a gender-neutral term for an elected member of a council, typically a city or town council.
The word emerged as an alternative to councilman and councilwoman: Three new councilpersons were sworn in last night.
Council members serves the same function and sounds more natural to many speakers.
