Galena mayor’s race highlights ‘management differences’
“Probably the biggest difference between Mr. Sizemore and myself is our management styles,” Oglesby said. “I allow department heads to run their departments as they see fit. I judge them by their accomplishments. I monitor them, but I don’t personally get involved.”
He said Galena voters will determine which management style they prefer.
“The mayor really has an obligation to look long-term and try to prepare the city for the future,” he said.
Baxter Springs
There is a contested race in the 1st Ward on the Baxter Springs City Council, between Jennifer Bingham and incumbent Stan Pickering.
Bingham, 34, of 222 E. Ninth St., teaches seventh- and eighth-grade English in Galena schools. She holds master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Pittsburg State University. She has lived in Baxter Springs about 20 years. This is her first election run.
Pickering, of 628 E. Ninth St., said he was born in 1934, but age isn’t important. He works in the purchasing department for St. John’s Regional Medical Center, Joplin, Mo. He has lived in Baxter Springs for 39 years. He was appointed to the council last June. This is his first election try.
Another contested race in Baxter Springs is between incumbent Ron Costlow and Jerry Snider in the 4th Ward. Neither could be reached by phone.
Columbus
Jamie Robinson is challenging incumbent Connie Bennett for the 5th Ward position on the Columbus City Council.
Robinson, 25, 121 N. Ohio Ave., is a mobility specialist with Mike Carpino Ford Mercury. She is a graduate of Columbus High School. She has lived in the area her whole life and inside the town for 11 years. This is her first try for elected office.
Bennett, 55, 1410 E. Oak St., is a registered nurse and is administrator at Autumn Place. She is a graduate of Labette Community College, Parsons. She has lived in Columbus most of her life. She is completing her third, nonconsecutive term on the City Council.
Weir
Dwight Hale, Jennifer Paxson and Douglas Grotheer are vying for the 2nd Ward position on the Weir City Council.
