Poirier, Campbell Move to General Election For Wenatchee Mayor

Results from Tuesday's primary show Mike Poirier (46%) and Bryan Campbell (40%) will face off in November's general election for mayor of Wenatchee, with James McLaughlin (14%) having been eliminated.  

Incumbent Mayor Frank Kuntz is retiring.  

Wes Cornelius (54%) leads Mark Miller (45%) in the race for Chelan County Assessor as both will move on to the general election.  

Martin Barron has one of the highest percentages of the vote in any primary contest in Chelan County (56%). He leads the Wenatchee School District at-large position race and will face 2nd place vote getter Tricia Cleek (36%) in November. John LaCasse was eliminated from the race with a low vote total (7%). 

In the District Four school board contest, Miranda Skalisky (54%) will face Kendra Martin (26%) in the general election as Joe Cortez (20%) dropped out of the race, although he still appeared on the ballot.  

The race for mayor of Chelan is too close to call. Erin McCardle (32%) leads John Olson (21%) and incumbent Bob Goedde (28%). Stan Morse appears to be eliminated with a vote count too low to stay in the race (7%).  

Incumbent Carl J. Florea (49%) has a commanding lead in the race for mayor of Leavenworth. He'll face either Rich Brinkman (28%) or Beck Subido (22%) in the November election.  

Turnout in Chelan County is roughly 24%, which is lower than the 40%-45% turnout County Auditor Skip More was expecting.
