Vote Tuesday

Democrats and Republicans in SL COUNTY: GO VOTE TUESDAY for school board members and State Treasurer at Draper City Hall, 1020 E. Pioneer Road.

Republicans in UT COUNTY: GO VOTE TUESDAY for State Treasurer at Ridgeline Elementary School at the bottom of the south side of the mountain, in Highland.

For all of our Salt Lake County SunCrest neighbors:

Tuesday, June 24th, is election day for the NEW school district board member that will represent the Draper area. There are several candidates to choose from:

Tracy Bennett, Steve Chambers, Paul McCarty, Lyn Pappas, Bill Rappleye, and Tony Rivas.

Several of us have met with and talked to Paul McCarty, Tracy Bennett and Steve Chambers. Paul and Tracy seem very qualified and have a lot of experience in the education arena, and Steve seems willing to give it all he's got.

PLEASE take the time to go to the Trib Candidate Bio Web site and make an informed decision:

This is NOT a Primary Election. You may vote for only one candidate, and whoever gets the highest percentage, even if it's only 25%, will win the seat. As this new district is forming, it is vital to have board members who know what they're doing, ones who can work with parents, teachers and administrators to create the best possible educational scenario for our children.

All Republicans in SunCrest also have the opportunity to vote in the Primary Election for the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, between Richard Ellis and Mark Walker.
