Townsend Residents Will Vote on Two Seats in the City Council Election

Townsend businessman JB Howick and Council President Vickie Rauser are vying for the City Mayor position in the upcoming municipal election on Tuesday, November 7. Current Mayor Mike Evans will retire from the position on January 1, 2024.
Vivian Boaz and Nate Brown oppose each other for Ward III. Brown is the incumbent in that race. Ward II will be an open seat since current member Ken Urich resigned and no one filed to run for the seat.
Valerie Baraza was appointed to fill Christina Hartmann’s seat in Ward I. Since Baraza was appointed, and no one filed against her, she won the position by acclamation, according to Broadwater County Clerk and Recorder Angie Paulsen. Baraza’s name will not be on the ballot.
Any registered Townsend resident can vote in the election on November 7 at the Elections office in the Court House. Any unregistered voter who wishes to vote, may come to the Clerk and Recorder’s office to be registered and vote before noon on Nov. 6 and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 7, Paulsen said.
