Beach and Kent Face Off For City Council

Mayor Tedford Unopposed -- Will Serve Seventh Term Filing for City of Fallon municipal elections closed today, February 1^st, at 5:00 p.m. Jack Beach and Karla Kent will run against each other for the Ward 2 seat currently held by Bob Erickson. Beach is a retired educator and lifelong resident of Fallon. Kent is a Fallon native as well, and the owner of Kent’s Supply Center. Erickson completes his service as City Councilman after serving 12 years and reaching his term limit. Mayor Ken Tedford did not draw an opponent and will continue as Mayor for another term. Because the Mayor serves in an executive capacity with no legislative authority and does not vote during City Council meetings, under Nevada Revised Statutes governing general law cities, term limits do not apply to the office of Mayor. Tedford was originally elected to serve on City Council in 1987 and in 1995 was elected for his first term as Mayor. Stay tuned to The Fallon Post for further election coverage.
