There are only two filings so far for the mayoral and City Council seats that will be on this November’s ballot. Rich Mays is the only candidate to file for Mayor, as incumbent Steve Lawrence has already announced he will not seek re-election, while Chip Wood has filed for Council position one representing the western portion of the City, a seat currently held by Tim McGlothlin. The other Council positions that will be on the ballot are the at-large seat occupied by Taner Elliott and position three representing the east side of the City held at this time by Russ Brown. Those who would like to run for one of the positions must file by August 28. Information packets are available at the City Clerk’s office in The Dalles City Hall.
