Only One Contested Ballot In Hood River County

There will be only one contested office in Hood River County during the May primary election.  That will be for the District 4 seat on the County Commission, with Brian Merz, Chad Muenzer, and Albert Nance the three candidates.  Les Perkins has resigned that position after slightly over 23 years to take a spot on the Oregon Public Utility Commission, and the rest of the Commission will be appointing a replacement to serve out the rest of Perkins’ term.  County Commission Chair Jennifer Euwer and District 2 Commissioner Arthur Babitz are unopposed.  Matt English is unopposed to remain as Sheriff, and current Wasco County District Attorney Matthew Ellis is the only candidate on the ballot to succeed current D.A. Carrie Rasmussen, who decided not to seek re-election.
