One of the items on my list to cover in politics is our local elections. This November, three Solon City Council positions and three Solon Community School District Board positions will be on the ballot. This article by Chris Umscheid in the Solon Economist summarizes the ballot:
Greg Morris seems likely to win one council seat. Through his work with the volunteer fire department he is well known in the community and a constant, positive presence. Incumbents for council have an advantage, but it could be a jump ball for their seats. Will see if any issues arise that make this a race.
I note the Cedar Rapids Gazette posted an article today saying 34 candidates in six cities and three school districts failed to meet the filing deadline with the Iowa Secretary of State. Let me guess: They are all counties with a Republican county auditor.
