Who’s Running?

Published July 9th, 2009

It’s an election year, and this year there are three offices open in Weaverville – mayor and two Town Council seats (those held by Dottie Sherrill and Don Hallingse).

I posted here about current Mayor Bett Stroud’s decision not to run for re-election. I also understand, though I haven’t confirmed personally, that Don Hallingse will not be running either.  As of 10 a.m. July 9, here’s the list of current candidates:

  • Mayor – Al Root
  • Town Council – Dottie Sherrill, Doug Dearth

Obviously at this point there’s not much of an election to be had, but the filing period for candidates is open until noon on July 17. You can keep up with the current filings at the Buncombe County Election Services website. I’ll also post of any additions to the list and plan to put together candidate profiles once the filing deadline has passed. Election Day this year is Tuesday, November 3, 2009.
