Loading...
Summary
A city clerk conducted a public drawing and announced the June ballot order for Fargo’s mayoral race (5 candidates), two city commission seats (8 candidates) and three Fargo Park Board seats (7 candidates). The clerk read each office’s candidate order aloud and closed the session.
The Clerk announced the ballot order for three Fargo races during a public drawing held to set candidate positions on the June ballot.
The drawing covered the mayoral contest, two city commission seats and three open seats on the Fargo Park Board. The Clerk said the Park Board contest has three open seats and seven candidates and then read the seven names in the order drawn: "And the first position is for Zandra Bina," followed by Tyler Sand, Vicky Dawson, Emily Secor May, Joe Deutsch, Anjay Noishevsky and Alex Nisbett.
The Clerk then read the order for the two open city commission seats, listing eight candidates in the drawn order: Erin Hill, Nicole Goliksem, Anna Johnson, Chad Peterson, Derek Arneson, Tony Gehrig, Jeremy Schafer and Scott Brecki.
For mayor, the Clerk announced five candidates and their ballot positions: Sekou Sirleaf in the first spot; "Spot 2 is Josh" (surname not specified in the transcript); Denise Kolpak in the third spot; Michelle Turnberg in the fourth; and Dave Pepcorn in the fifth.
The announcements were procedural: the Clerk performed the drawing, read the results aloud for public record and thanked attendees before adjourning the session. The drawing determines only the order of names on the ballot and does not affect eligibility or vote counts.
