Who has filed for city council?

The Standard Examiner has compiled a list of who is running for the city council offices in South Ogden. As usual we will be preparing a full profile of each candidate to help all of us decide on who will be best. Of course each profile will be mingled with my own opinion of the candidate.

As predicted, Mayor Garwood will not be running for mayor this year and Vicki Mattson, John Bradley and Jim Minster are all going to be running for the big chair. You can see my last post here (See Here)

As for new comers the following are also running:

  • Rick Westmoreland - Mayoral Candidate
  • Russ Porter - Council
  • Lamont Camp - Council
  • Bryan Benard - Council
I know a couple of these candidates; so it will be fun to see how this race plays out. Only 2 seats are open for election this year. If you have any info, ideas or comments please post them or email me directly.

Let the games begin.

What is Garwood going to do? Is he running for any other office?

Actually, I hear Mayor Garwood is leaving for health reasons. I believe he has come down with Lupus. Which is very sad, I wish him well.

I enjoyed reading your blog on the candidates. I need to get to more of these meetings. It is sad that it often proves difficult to get accurate information. I would like to know where each candidate stands on the skateboard ordinance. That will way heavily on my vote. I will learn quickly weather they have a shred of common sense or not. We seem to lack a lot of this in our officials lately. Thanks again for the great info!
