TOP STORY: Anna Cooling, a Montrose attorney and former deputy prosecutor, has been chosen to replace retiring District Attorney Seth Ryan on the Nov. 5 ballot, according to the Montrose County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. The Republican 7th Judicial District Assembly Vacancy Committee nominated Cooling after Ryan resigned; he was already on the ballot, and it was too late to remove his name.
Under statute, votes are invalid if cast for a candidate who does not withdraw in time for his or her name to be removed; any votes cast for Ryan must be counted as votes for Cooling.
