Kelly Cannon at the Herald Journal wrote a great article about the seven candidates vying for two seats on the Smithfield City Council. With the primary election less than two weeks away, it’s a great overview and a worthwhile read.

Dennis Watkins is returning to the Smithfield City Council. He received the most votes (637) and will be joined by incumbent Brent Buttars (552 votes) and new councilman Jeffrey Barnes (438 votes).

The Smithfield City Council primary election originally scheduled for Tuesday is cancelled. Seven candidates were signed up for the election, however, Michael Oliverson withdrew from the race. The remaining six candidates will run against each other in the general election on November 8.

Three seats are up for the Smithfield City Council. Michael Oliverson and Brent Buttars have both refiled for election. Jeffrey Barnes, Brooks Hansen, Paul Prendergast, Sara Scott and Dennis Watkins have also filed. With seven candidates a primary will be held on September 13.

Smithfield City will hold a Municipal Election in November 2011 to elect Three (3) City Council Members for a four (4) year term to begin on January 1, 2012. If you are interested in running for one of these positions the sign up period is from Friday, July 1, 2011, at 9 a.m. through Friday, July 15, at 5 p.m. You can register at the City Recorders Office, 96 South Main, Room 113, during this time. Ten (10) to twenty (20) hours per week is a good estimate for the time Council Members will need to give to their Council assignments.

The primary and preliminary election results for June 22, 2010. For Cache County, Mike Lee just edged out Tim Bridgewater for US Senator. State-wide it’s just too close to call.
