A voter fills out his ballot last November in Hartley.

Editor's note: The version of this story that ran in the printed edition of the Sentinel-News stated that Glen Hammerstrom, of Hartley, was also running a write-in campaign for the H-M-S Director District 2 seat. However, after the paper was printed, Hammerstrom informed the newspaper he had decided not to run. The online version of this article has been changed to reflect the development.

A write-in candidate has announced her intention to seek the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Director District 2 seat.

Becky Stoltz, of Hartley, threw her hat into the ring this week. The Director District 2 seat is currently held by Dave Vander Broek, who is not seeking re-election. Nobody filed paperwork to run for the spot, prompting the need for a write-in candidate.

Stoltz lives on North 8th Avenue West with her husband, Curt, and two sons.

In Everly, former councilman Ron Thompson has announced a write-in campaign for the mayor's chair. Outgoing Mayor Brad Behrens is not seeking re-election and endorsed Thompson at Monday's council meeting. Thompson served on the city council for several years before letting his term expire in 2017.

The Sentinel-News mailed questionnaires to all declared candidates running for city council or school board seats in Hartley, Everly, Royal, H-M-S and Clay Central/Everly. Stoltz and Thompson were also included. Their responses will run in next week's newspaper.

The election is Nov. 2.
