Crowded Commission Race Highlights Wasco County Ballot

It’s going to be a crowded field seeking Position 2 on the Wasco County Commission during the May primary election.  Five candidates had filed for the seat as the deadline for declaring candidacy passed on Tuesday.  Two are currently on The Dalles City Council:  Dan Richardson and Darcy Long.  The other three candidates are Jeff Justesen, Brian Lauterbach, and John McElheran.  Incumbent Steve Kramer had earlier announced he was not seeking re-election.  There will be also be a contested race for Wasco County District Attorney, with Special Deputy District Attorney Kara Davis opposed by Travis Marston, an attorney from Ashwood in Jefferson County.  Other Wasco County offices on the ballot feature only one candidate, including Lane Magill to remain as Sheriff, Jill Amery as Assessor, and Elijah Preston as Treasurer, and Chrissy Zaugg is the only candidate for Clerk.
