Voters in the City of Clarendon and the Clarendon Consolidated Independent School District will go to the polls this May to select representatives for the city council and school board while four other local governments will cancel their elections.
City voters will have five positions to decide. Mayor Jacob Fangman filed for re-election and faces no opposition. Aldermen Ashlee Estlack and Eulaine McIntosh are seeking re-election to two full terms on the board and are challenged by Richard Dzamko, Jeremy Jeffers, and Brittney Wolfe. Also, three people are running for two unexpired terms on the City Council – Ralph Graves, Chelsi Shadle, and Thomas Thompson. Aldermen Terri Floyd and Mandy Smith did not sign up for re-election.
Four people are seeking three seats on the Clarendon CISD Board of Trustees. Incumbents Robin Ellis and Donny Howard will be joined on the ballot by Jeff Robertson and Ginnie Siefkas. Trustee Chuck Robertson did not seek re-election.
All four other local governments had just enough candidates sign up to run as there were positions available. Those entities will cancel their elections.
In Hedley, all three incumbent city aldermen have filed for re-election – Larry Ely, Tonya Gibson, and Jennifer Floyd.
Howardwick also has a full slate of candidates. Mayor Pro-tem Johnny Floyd has signed up to run for the vacant mayor’s position, while Alderman Jada Murray filed to run again, and Matt Moore also filed for the other available alderman’s position.
Incumbents Michael Metcalf and Bruce Howard have signed up for the two positions on the Hedley CISD Board.
The Donley County Hospital District Board of Directors had two of three incumbents signing up again: Rose Lemley – Place One and Cindy Shelton – Place Three. Place Two Director Jeff Robertson is running for school board, and Corey Gaither has filed to take his hospital board seat.
Elections will be held Saturday, May 3, 2025.
