Aumsville: Mayor Angelica Ceja won re-election unopposed with 92.13% of the vote. Three open seats on the Aumsville City Council went to incumbents Katie Wallace with 34.01% of the vote, Scott Lee with 32.01% and Walter Wick with 30.67%.
Sublimity: Mayor Michael Taylor was elected with 96.85% of the vote after being appointed to the position on June 10. Incumbent Councilors Kari Lowe and Kerst Bosma, themselves appointed July 8, each received 54.81% and 54.81% of the vote. There were two positions on the ballot.
Chemeketa Community College: The college’s attempt to finance upgrades and remodeling through a bond measure has failed. Measure 24-507 was trailing by a 55% to 45% margin. It would have generated $140 million in improvements paid for by district taxpayers. The bond, had it been approved, would have replaced an expiring $92 million bond and used the same tax rate of 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. For a home valued at $400,000, the property owner would pay $108 per year, or about 30 cents per day. The Chemeketa Community College Board placed the measure on the ballot via a unanimous vote on June 26.
Legislature: Rep. Ed Diehl (R-Scio) was elected to another term for House District 17, which includes Stayton, Sublimity, Aumsville, Turner, Scio and the Santiam Canyon. He received 69.27% of the votes to 30.58% for David Beem (D-Salem).
Sen. Fred Girod (R-Silverton) also was re-elected for Senate District 9, including east Marion and north Linn counties, downing Mike Ashland (D-Silverton). Girod drew 68.85% of the voters to 31% for Ashland.
Marion Soil & Water: Incumbent Peggy Hart defeated Tony Shepherd by a 60.74% to 38.35% margin in the race for the conservation district’s at-large director No. 1 slot. Angela Plowhead ran unopposed in Zone 4 after incumbent Dave Budeau did not seek re-election.
