MASON — Now that the ballots are finalized and the candidates set, it is nearly time for the upcoming municipal elections in the towns of Mason, Leon and Hartford.

The municipal elections take place Tuesday with polls set to open at 6:30 a.m.

In Mason, incumbent Marty Yeager and Ralph Ross are on the ballot for council seats, while Jerry Tucker is seeking election as mayor. Councilwoman Sarah Stover will be a write-in candidate. According to Mayor Mindy Kearns, who decided not to seek re-election, no one has filed for recorder, and two open council seats remain.

Due to this, council members will be required to appoint people to fill the vacant positions when the new administration officially takes office.

“Since there will be three on council, that will constitute a quorum. The (council) members can appoint two council members and a recorder,” Kearns said.

Leon’s ballot is full despite no write-in candidates. Incumbents Crystal Cash, Terri Rymer and Greg Barker are seeking re-election for their council seats. Renae Riffle, who currently serves as the town’s events coordinator, is seeking election as recorder. Councilman Adam Null, who was appointed to fill a vacant council position earlier this year, also will be seeking election for council.

Mayor Bruce Riffle will seek election as mayor after being appointed to fill the current term following the former mayor’s resignation.

In Hartford, incumbents Susan Kensler and Tom Anderson Jr. are seeking re-election, while DeeDee Dudding, Lois Dudding and Tim Green will via for one of the five open council seats as well. Paula Cunningham, Charles Connley, Shirley Kauff, Leann Zerkle and Angela Cundiss also are seeking election to council as write-in candidates.

Three people are on the ballot for mayor, including Mayor Sam Anderson, who is seeking re-election, Robert Crouse and Daniel Rardin. Tom Anderson, Sr. is running for mayor as a write-in candidate as well. Current recorder Cheryl Oldaker also is seeking re-election and will face Kenny Greene.
