NB councilors file for re-election
Half of North Bend’s city council positions, as well as its mayor, is up for re-election, but no one has filed against the four city leaders in the upcoming November election.
City Recorder Angie Kellar said Councilors Frank Amatisto, Howard Graham, Janet Rubin and Mayor Rick Wetherell all plan to join the race to maintain their seats. However, only the mayor has submitted the 50 signatures necessary to run to the county’s elections office. The deadline is Aug. 26.
“All the incumbents filed prospective forms for candidacy. Our charter does require that they gather 50 signatures of registered North Bend voters,” Kellar explained.
Graham said he’ll “probably run” but hasn’t filed yet. He’s served on the council since 1998 and hopes to continue his work to help finish several projects in the city, including a plan to build a boardwalk on North Bend’s waterfront.
