Some more names have been added for your consideration when voters head to the polls to decide a litany of city and school board races this year.

John Masterson, former longtime Allen Community College president, added his name to the list of USD 257 school board candidates. Also filing were incumbents Doug Dunlap, Tony Leavitt, Jen Taylor and Dan Willis.

Of note, Masterson is seeking to fill the unexpired term of Mandey Coltrane, and is running separately from the other candidates.

Other filings include:

LaHarpe Mayor Ella Mae Crowell filed for re-election, while Angela Barker is the first local resident to seek a seat on the LaHarpe City council.

Rachel Blevins filed for a seat on the Moran City Council, where voters will select two from a quartet of candidates. Also filing were incumbent Jim Mueller and challengers Darcy Burton and Joe Stotler.

Candidates must file by noon Thursday.
