UPDATE: Nonpartisan CANDIDATE

Nonpartisan CANDIDATE

By JAMES C. GARLAND

People are always asking why there was a switch from County Commissioner Position 1 to County Commissioner Position 2 in the Primary Election in Klamath County on May 17, 2022. There are several reasons as to why there was a switch. One being, "Who wants to be in a three-ring circus?". I sure didn't.

When Klamath County Commissioner, Donnie Boyd, had announced his resignation from the Board effective January 10, 2022, citing “personal reasons.” The first person to file for the seat was the former Chief of Police of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Dave Henslee on December 3, 2021. Shortly after was James C. Garland of Klamath Falls, Oregon on December 9, 2021, for the open seat being vacated by Donnie Boyd citing “personal reasons.” for County Commissioner Position 1.

On September 10, 2021, Kelley Mindy Morris incumbent filed for County Commissioner Position 2 and on December 8, 2021, Todd J. Gessele filed for County Commissioner Position 2 against Kelley Mindy Morris incumbent for County Commissioner Position 2. On January 6, 2022, for some odd, strange unknown reason, Todd J. Gessele, amended his application filed on December 8, 2021, from County Commissioner Position 2 to County Commissioner Position 1 to join Dave Henslee and James C. Garland for Commissioner Position 1, soon to be vacated by Donnie Boyd on January 10, 2022, citing “personal reasons.” Candidate Filings Primary - May 17, 2022

James C. Garland Commissioner (http://tntproductions1027fm.com/candidate.html)

James C. Garland decided to make a switch of commissioner positions the next day on December 9, 2021, the day after Todd J. Gessele did. It would now be Dave Henslee vs. Todd J. Gessele for Commissioner Position 1 and Kelley Mindy Morris incumbent vs. James C. Garland for Commissioner Position 2 on the ballot, that was as long as no one else entered the race from that point in time.

But once again things changed on February 25, 2022, where Allen B. Headly entered the race for Commissioner Position 1 with Dave Henslee and Todd J. Gessele to be on the ballot. Then on March 3, 2022, Brandon E. Fower filed for Commissioner Position 1 with the final filling date being March 8, 2022, where no more candidates can enter the race for Commissioners Position 1 and Position 2 for the Primary Election on Tuesday May 17, 2022.

Now all of the candidates with the exception of James C. Garland (who could not afford to be included in the Voters’ Pamphlet information published by the state and pay $600 or collect 200 valid signatures in Lew of the Fee) are listed on the following link: http://oregonvotes.gov/voters-guide-military/votersguide.html

The following candidates are listed on the Voters’ Pamphlet information under the Nonpartisan Candidates, County Commissioner for Klamath. Where there is no listing of James C. Garland in the Voters’ Pamphlet information published by the state due to being a low-income candidate.
