Field set for city council race

Five candidates will vie for three open seats on the Sisters City Council in the November 4 election.

Three incumbents are throwing their hat into the ring for reelection: David Asson, current mayor Brad Boyd, and Wendy Holzman.

Nancy Connolly and Robert (Bob) Wright are running for the first time. Wright is a retired consultant in the power and petrochemical fields, and serves on the Sisters Planning Commission. Connolly has recently been a paraprofessional in Sisters schools and was a community-relations specialist with the City of Portland.

The top two vote-receivers will be elected to four-year terms, and the third top vote-receiver will be elected to a two-year term, all commencing January 8, 2015.
