There’s three vacancies up for grabs next week for the Montrose Recreation District board. The board of directors has three seats up for election on Tuesday May 2. Four local candidates, two of whom are incumbents, are vying for the three seats. This is a polling place election which means voting is in-person only. KVNF's Cassie Knust spoke last week with candidates Paul Wiesner, Christina Files, Suzi King and Jim Dolan to get a feel for why they’re running and their top priorities for the Recreation District. Candidate biographies can be found on the Montrose Recreation District page.

In-person voting will take place at Montrose County Fairgrounds at Friendship Hall on Tuesday, May 2 between 7:00am - 7:00pm.

She’s excited to join the KVNF family and grow as a reporter. For Cassie, her job as a journalist is to empower the community through knowledge and information. When she’s not researching and reporting, Cassie loves to spend time with her cat, Jasper, and paint something new.
