Candidates filing for November election
Candidates are slowly qualifying for the Nov. 4 ballot.
The filing period closes Aug. 8. It will be extended to Aug. 13 if an incumbent does not file or qualify.
New for Lake Tahoe Unified School District and Lake Tahoe Community College is that the five members now represent specific districts. That means people will only vote for one person for each of those entities.
Wendy David is the only South Lake Tahoe City Council candidate who has qualified for the ballot. Those who have taken out papers are Brooke Laine, Tom Davis, Angela Swanson, Bruce Grego, Austin Sass and Matt Palacio.
Dave Olivio has qualified for the ballot for city treasurer.
Suzie Alessi has taken out papers for city clerk.
Kerry David has qualified for District 1 for the LTCC board, Jeff Cowen for District 2, and Bob Grant and Michelle Sweeney for District 5.
LTUSD District 5 has Barbara Bannar on the ballot. No one has filed for area 2.
Chris Cefalu has qualified for director seat one for South Tahoe Public Utility District, Jim Jones for seat two, and Duane Wallace for seat five.
Uhhh Angela….. No, don’t do it. The current council have basically blackballed you from getting the opportunity to be mayor or mayor pro-tem. The voters have said no to you for EDC supe. Your judgment has been questioned over a myriad of things from paid parking to bags of money. Do yourself a favor and take a break. If you still want to be an elected official, get it together and come back in 4 years and run again for EDC when the dust has settled. Its probably the healthy thing to do for you and this city.
Reza could not have said it better. She needs to listen instead of talking down to people and walking out of important meetings (paid parking). We need a new person on the TTD to get this loop road paid for by someone other then the folks in California.
Sorry it’s the same old group running again..let’s see some new faces
Matt Palacio. Jeff Cowen. The future is now! It’s time for change in this town!
