The town of Ten Sleep will be holding their municipal elections for mayor and two council seats on May 7 at the Ten Sleep Senior Center from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Voter registration closed after April 24, but voters may register at the polls the day of the election.
The lone candidate on the ballot for mayor is incumbent Ernie Beckley, who will be running for his second term after first elected in 2020. Beckley said the main reason that he is running again is, “I need to finish this project with our subdivision that we’re adding south of town.”
Beckley refers to the Sage Vista subdivision, an ongoing housing development project.
Up for re-election for a second two-year term are both councilpersons Bart Dewitt and Nichole Lynema.
Dewitt echoed Beckley’s sentiments in returning to the council, saying, “I want to see projects through.”
Lynema added, “We’ve all been pretty committed to that project, and we all want to see families come in with the new school.”
“I really enjoy the council right now, we’re a good group of people and we work really well together … Helping Ten Sleep to grow but not change is kind of our goal,” said Lynema.
