Supporters Of Mayor Join Springdale Council Elsewhere, Incumbent Davenport Mayor Car Killin Tossed Out

Voters in Springdale, Wash., made it clear Tuesday that they want the Town Council to quit sniping at Mayor Ernie Gehrke.

Three supporters of the controversial mayor were voted onto the five-member council.

Corky Peterson got a solid 68-vote call to return to the council. Store owner Floyd Pope defeated Gehrke’s chief critic on the council, Ray Turner, 57-34. Turner supporter Bud Brown was defeated 59-33 by Gehrke supporter Mike Pammler.

Elsewhere in northeastern Washington, write-in candidate Bonnie Jensen defeated incumbent Wilbur Mayor Craig W. Brougher.

In another Lincoln County upset, incumbent Davenport Mayor Car Killin was drubbed by former Mayor Ed Hendrickson.

Chip Hunt waged a strong but unsuccessful write-in campaign against incumbent Odessa Mayor Denny McDaniel.

Write-in candidate Tammy Boyd trails Marguerite Ensminger 77-67 for a position on the Inchelium School District board.

Ferry County voting was entirely by mail-in and absentee ballots, and about 500 of them arrived too late to be included with the 1,824 that were counted Tuesday. The remainder will be counted next Tuesday.
