Filing Period

The filing period for public office is underway and already many residents, including incumbents in some positions, have put their hat in the public arena.
In Green River, one city Councilman is currently unopposed while another faces some stiff competition. In Ward One, Gene Smith is currently running unopposed, while Jim Boan in Ward Three will run against Brett Stokes and James Bronstein. As of Wednesday morning, no one has filed to run for the Ward Two Council seat. Lisa Maes’ seat as Councilwoman is up for re-election in the ward. The two Sweetwater County Commissioner seats up for re-election have already garnered some interest from the two incumbents as well as another resident. According to filing reports, Wally Johnson and Don Van Matre have filed to campaign for their respective seats. However, the two will face competition in the primary election from Jim Jessen. All three are Republicans and so far, Democrats have not registered to run for the seats.
