City of Ramsey - Info for Ward 4 voters on the upcoming Aug 16 special ward election for Dave Jeffrey's replacement (including absentee procedure). Anoka County Union candidate publishing (not online).

Dave Jeffrey's resignation for health reasons - extended chemotherapy beginning soon - became effective June 1, necessitating a special election within Ward 4. First the city's ward and precinct map, click to enlarge:


The text of the City announcement:


There will be no primary. The election has been set for Aug. 16. For those wanting to link to items noted in the notice; this link for the City's page.

While the official filing period has not opened, running from Friday, June 10, 2011, until Friday June 24, 2011, this week's issue of the Anoka County Union has identified two candidates, former City of Ramsey Council Member Sarah Strommen, and Brenda Look. That paper has published statements of each of the two, within the newsstand version (not available online).

Because filing has not closed, other Ward 4 residents may enter the contest.

If experiencing difficulty locating newsstand copies; usually back issues of the Union can be purchased during regular business hours from the ECM home office on Coon Rapids Blvd., this link for address and map.

For those knowing Dave and valuing his viewpoint, he noted on camera while announcing his resignation that anyone wanting to talk with him or share opinions is more than welcome to do so.
