Four current board members will retain their seats without an election and one new candidate will be declared the winner without an election.

Susan Blanford in District 4, Larry Elder in District 6, Brent Wigginton in District 9 and Richard Basham representing the industrial members are the only candidates who submitted petitions to have their names placed on the ballot in this year’s election.  Billy Reid, who has represented District 8 since 1992, did not seek re-election and Wayne Mattingly was the only candidate who submitted a petition to have his name placed on the ballot in that district.

Kenergy’s bylaws stipulate that any uncontested candidate will be declared the winner of the board seat without an election.
