Aiken: seeks $1,510.88. Ballot returns at less than 9 percent in Umatilla County BY HERMISTON HERALD Ballots for the May 21 election are dribbling into Umatilla County. County elections man- ager Kim Lindell said her ofﬁ ce has received 3,678 ballots out of 43,874 for a return rate less than 8.4%. “It’s going really slow,” she said. Just six seats out of 122 seats on ballots in the county for next week’s election feature a compe- tition between two candi- dates. Most of those are school boards. Echo School Board member Connie Caplinger faces a challenge from Emily Spike. Umatilla School Board member Toby Crans- ton drew an opposing bid from Jennifer Armstrong, the co-owner of Encore Wellness 4 Life, a Uma- tilla medical clinic. Cecili Longhorn, Stanﬁ eld Pub- lic Library director, is run- ning for an open Stan- ﬁ eld School Board seat against Jim Grifﬁ n. And Athena-Weston School Board incumbent Jenni- fer McClure-Spurgeon faces Shannon Hoehna. McClure-Spurgeon is the mayor of Weston, and Hoehna is the owner and food safety consultant for SH Consulting, Weston. Fire district boards round out the contested races. Kelly Payan is run- ning against incumbent Fred Sheely for a seat on the Umatilla Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors, and incum- bent Spike Piersol has a challenge from Sebastian Sanchez for the Umatilla County Fire District Board of Directors. Morrow County has a better turnout. County clerk Bobbi Childers said her ofﬁ ce sent 6,325 bal- lots and as of Monday accepted 1,154, about 18.3% return. “We do have a tax mea- sure and have a contested race for Port of Morrow for port commissioner,” she said. Morrow County voters will decide on renewing the 39-cent levy to fund the hospital in Heppner, three clinics across the county and county-wide ambulance services. Mor- row County residents John Murray and Debbie Radie are contending for Position 5 on the Port of Morrow Board of Commissioners. Write-in votes could decide most of the races, which primarily consists of school boards and small taxing districts. If no one ﬁ les for a seat, county elec- tions ofﬁ cials look to the write-ins to determine the winner, then contact win- ners to ﬁ nd out whether the person accepts the position. If the winner declines, the board, council or com- mission in charge of the seat makes an appointment. Ballots are due to county elections ofﬁ ces or drop boxes by 8 p.m the night of the election. •Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC vs. Raul Ibar- ra Perez: seeks $1,962.84. •Lakeview Loan Servicing LLC vs. Olga G.
