In a nutshell
The election Nov. 4 will have Matthew Short, Al Ramirez and Joel Hicks on the ballot for the Place 4 position. The winning candidate will replace the departing Board President, Edward Finley.
"It has been a rewarding experience being here ... and I look forward to who the voters choose, I think we [have] a really good selection this time around," Finley said at the Aug. 18 board of trustees meeting.
According to their election filings, Short has lived in the district for 2 years and 3 months, Ramirez has lived in the district for 12 years and Hicks has lived in the district for 29 years.
