Election clarification

Though the Primary Election results show Mike Chimenti won the Mayor of Thermopolis race with 449, because this is a nonpartisan race the top two candidates will move on to the General Election. That means Mike Mortimore, who received the next highest number of votes with 273, will be on the General Election ballot.

Similarly, the Thermopolis Town Council race is also nonpartisan. Because there are two seats available, the top four candidates move on to the General. Though incumbents John Dorman Sr. and Tony Larson received the most votes — Dorman with 584, Larson with 451 — candidates Krista Raymond, who received 339 votes, and John Fish, who received 284, will also be on the ballot for the General Election.
