New faces join races for Morrow County commission
East Oregonian
MORROW COUNTY
— Both seats on the Morrow
County Board of Commis-
sioners up for election this
year will be heavily contested.
Position 2 incumbent
Melissa Lindsay switched to
the open Position 3 race and
will face competition from
Jeff Wenholz of Irrigon.
Wenholz, who lists himself
as self-employed, serves on a
number of volunteer commit-
tees for the county, including
Morrow County’s planning
commission, budget commit-
tee and solid waste advisory
committee.
Lindsay, the owner of
The most valuable and
respected source of
local news, advertising
and information for
our communities.
eomediagroup.com
Turner Ranch in Heppner,
was elected to a special
six-year term as Morrow
County government was
transitioning from a court-
style government to a board
of commissioners. Lindsay
was elected judge but was
sworn in as a commissioner
for Position 3 and is now up
for a standard four-year term
for Position 3.
The son of former Morrow
County Judge Terry Tallman,
Jonathan Tallman of Board-
man dropped out of the race
for Position 3 ahead of the
fi ling deadline. He made a
couple of runs at local offi ce
before, having lost races for
Boardman mayor in 2020
and Port of Morrow commis-
sioner in 2021.
Position 2 was an open
race due to the retirement of
incumbent Commissioner
Don Russell, but Lindsay’s
switch meant Position 3
became the truly open race.
Three men are competing to
fi ll the void.
Mike McNamee is an
Irrigon farmer with experi-
ence serving on the Morrow
County Soil & Water Conser-
vation District. Gus Peterson
is an Ione farmer who grad-
uated from Oregon State
University in 2020, and David
Sykes is a Heppner business
owner who operates publish-
ing and real estate companies.
Because there’s only
two candidates in the fi eld,
Morrow County voters will
decide between Lindsay
and Wenholz for Position 3
during the May 17 primary.
In the three-way race for
Position 2, the winner will
need to amass more than
50% of the vote to avoid a
runoff held during the Nov. 8
general election.
The only other county-
wide race on the ballot is for
county assessor. Incumbent
Mike Gorman is running
unopposed, and because
the position is considered
a constitutional office, his
name won’t appear on the
ballot until November.

Lee Knox
August 2, 1941 - February 19, 2022
This is written in loving
memory of Lee Knox, who passed
peacefully on Feb. 19, 2022. He
was born to the late Larry and
Barbara Knox in Bell Gardens,
California, Aug. 2, 1941. Lee
grew up in Pendleton, Oregon, and
graduated in the class of 1959, after
graduating high school he joined
the Army.
Lee then spent the majority of his life in the Salem,
Oregon, area. Lee enjoyed spending time with his
wonderful friend, Linda, and going to car shows. Lee
had a true love for classic cars and his dog, Zena. There
won’t ever be a time his friends and family won’t think
of him when they see a beautiful classic car.
Lee is survived by his brother, Sam Knox; daughter,
Lisa Peek; two grandchildren, Heather Harmon (John
Harmon), Tyler Bain; and two great-grandchildren,
Thomas and Waverley Harmon.
Lee will be missed by all who knew him. He had a
charm and free spirit you couldn’t help but notice. In
lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local
animal shelter. Lee loved his dogs.
