Renton City Council Position No. 1

In the May 26 issue of The Reporter, two candidates were listed for this position — incumbent Randy Corman and Neil Sheesley. Because there were only two, this position did not appear on the August primary ballot but will appear in November.

Another city position that was listed was Terry L. Jurado for city of Renton municipal court judge. Because he was the only candidate listed, this position did not appear on this month’s ballot.

Renton School District

In the May 26 issue of The Reporter, it was reported there were two Renton School District positions on the upcoming ballot.

Because those positions, Director District No. 2 and District No. 5, did not have more than two candidates filed it did not appear on the August primary.

Issaquah School District

There were also two Issaquah School District positions listed in the May 26 issue of The Reporter. But similarly to the Renton School District positions, there were not more than two candidates filed for Director District No. 2 and District No. 4.

These positions, like the Renton School District positions, will appear on the November general election ballot.

Cedar River Water & Sewer District

Commissioner position No. 1 was the only available position this election. Because only two candidates had filed for this position, it skipped the primaries and will appear on ballots in November.
