A Republican Town Convention was held Tuesday night to determine the Republican clerk-treasurer candidate to be on the November Municipal General Election ballot for the Town of Lapaz.
Candidates Michelle “Shelly” Schmidt and Wendy J. Birk spoke for a few minutes about their qualifications for the office. The seven Republican voters who attended the Town Convention then cast their ballots. When the officials counted the ballots Birk was declared the winner with a vote of 4-3.
Birk will face Democrat Lorraine Dove in November’s Municipal General Election for Lapaz Clerk-Treasurer.
