SWEETWATER COUNTY — Several people opted to file for various municipal and county offices the day before the deadline to file.
There are now four Republicans seeking three positions on the Sweetwater County Board of County Commissioners. Green River City Councilor Sherry Bushman and Walter Majko join incumbents Island Richards and Keaton West in seeking nomination for the General Election.
Mark Peterson is no longer the sole candidate for mayor of Green River. Stan Blake, Karl Bode, Kayla Kappers, and Jason Howard join Peterson in the race. In Green River’s Ward 3, Paul Stevens joins Robert Ross and Clifford Vanderpool in seeking election to the city council seat. In Rock Springs, Mayor Max Mickelson is also no longer the sole candidate for mayor as Councilman Rick Milonas and Katherine Phelps have filed for election in that race. Only the top two candidates in these races will move on to November’s General Election.
Additional filings have been made in Wamsutter. Karlin Jerke is the sole candidate for mayor, while current mayor Larry Roney and incumbents Brandon Rideout and Dustin Davis have filed for election to the town council.
At the state and national level, Republican David Giralt of Mills has filed for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House of Representatives Seat. For Wyoming Secretary of State, Republicans CJ Young, Qwenton Eagle Oviatt, and Jason Fearneyhough have made the race a five-way affair in the upcoming Republican Primary.
