Six candidates vie for three open seats on Haxtun BOE

 

September 8, 2021



On Tuesday, Nov. 2, voters within the lines of the Haxtun School District will be tasked with selecting the candidates to fill vacancies on the local school board. Seats currently held by Tamara Durbin, Jay Wisdom and Audree Edwards are up for election in November.

Two of those three, Edwards and Wisdom, returned petitions to seek another term on the Board of Education along with candidates Cole Fix, ChristiAnne Gibson, Dean Michael and Spencer Holcomb, all of whom recently completed the necessary petition to fill one of three four-year terms.

Durbin chose not to seek election for a second term. Edwards, who was appointed to fill a vacancy at the conclusion of the last election, has served on the Board for two years. Wisdom is seeking his third term on the school board; he has served two, consecutive terms for the past eight years.

Candidate names will appear in the following order on the ballot when it is mailed to residents later this fall: Fix, Gibson, Michael, Wisdom, Edwards and Holcomb.

Others who make up the seven-member board who are not up for election this year include Steven Hadeen, Abby Henry, Amy Kilgour and Rich Starkebaum.

Those elected to fill the three open seats will be sworn into office during the regular November meeting slated for the Tuesday the 16th.
