Carl Junction voters to decide issues for center, street projects In the 1st Ward City Council race, veteran incumbent Councilwoman Barbara Evans has two challengers, Julie Alford and Donald Marshall. A fourth person on the ballot, Ron Daniel, has dropped out of the race.
Evans, 65, of 106 N. Grimes, is a retired school cook who has lived in Carl Junction her entire life. She graduated from Carl Junction High School. She has served six terms, 12 years, on the City Council. “I’ve enjoyed serving and helping the people,” Evans said of her reason for seeking re-election. “I just really care about what happens here.” Alford, 47, of 309 Temple, is a student at Crowder College and works for Integrity Home Health Care. She graduated from high school in Fremont, Calif., and has lived in Carl Junction for the past 23 years. She narrowly lost when she ran for City Council two years ago. Alford said business recruitment is one of her goals. “The few businesses we had, we lost,” she said. Marshall, 67, of 1203 Scott Drive, is a deputy with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department. He graduated from high school in Stockton and graduated from the police academy at Missouri Southern State College. He has lived in Carl Junction for 27 years and previously served as a councilman for six years. He said his tenure on the council was about 18 years ago. “I know all the codes and city ordinances,” Marshall said. “I just think I could do them some good.”
