The only challenged races in the upcoming Election in Garnett will be for two Seats on the USD 365 Board of Education. With the passing of the June 1st filing deadline, many Mayor or Council Government Seats in several Anderson County cities saw no one file at all for either Mayor or any of the available City Council Seats. The Cities of Colony, Kincaid, Westphalia, Greeley and Lone Elm saw zero filings. However, posts in those cities are typically filled by write-ins among local voters.
In USD 365, Kevin “Gunner” Calley, of Richmond, filed to run against Position 4 Incumbent, Michael Richards of Greeley, who also filed to retain his Post. Mark Powls of Garnett will face incumbent Sonya Martin of Garnett for Position 5. Incumbent Gina Witherspoon filed to retain her Position 6 Post and initially faces no opponent.
In USD 479, Travis Church and Lance Ramsey, both of Kincaid, filed for Posts 4 and 5, respectively.
At-Large Positions on the USD 288 Central Heights Board, saw filings from Billy Johnson, Ross Kimball and Jack Davis.
