Municipal election filing for the May 2024 election closed Tuesday, March 12. Pendleton voters will consider nine candidates for the five open positions.
Pendleton City Council members are elected to four-year terms, and candidates can be elected to represent a specific “ward” or region of the city or to an “at large” position. There are two positions for each ward and two at large positions on the city council, and the elected terms are staggered so half of the city council positions appear on the ballot every two years.
This year, the ballot will also include mayor in addition to the council positions. More information on the Pendleton City Council and wards is available on the city’s website.
For the May 21 election, the following candidates have filed:
Mayor: McKennon McDonald and Joseph Hull
Pendleton City Council Ward 1: John Thomas and Barbara Wright
Pendleton City Council Ward 2: Sally Brandsen
Pendleton City Council 3: Brett Mulvihill and Alicia Reynen
Pendleton City Council At Large: Stephen Campbell and Kristine Hudson-Bonniot
