The Slate is Final -- Filing for 2022 Election Closes

The Slate is Final -- Filing for 2022 Election Closes
Geoff Knell is often seen around town "preaching" from street corners. He has filed to run in Ward III for a seat on the City Council

Author: Rachel Dahl

Updated to include late filings on Friday and new developments regarding candidates' night:

A fairly strong showing of candidates filing for office during the filing period, which ended last Friday, giving Churchill County voters several choices in local races.

Three candidates have filed to run for office in the City of Fallon, with the Street Preacher, Geoff Knell jumping in at the last minute creating a contest for the Ward III City Council Seat. Paul Harmon had filed to fill the seat left open at James Richardson has reached his term limit.

Kenny Harmon filed on the last day as well, for County Commission District II. Pete Olsen is termed out of his County Commission seat in District II, leaving an empty seat for which Tom Riggins, Myles Getto, and Tanya Freeman have also filed.

Kelly Frost filed March 7 for re-election to her City Council Ward I seat. Due to changes at the legislature, for the first time, the municipal election will be held in November along with an election for every other office. See the story here: https://www.thefallonpost.org/news/4374,municipal-elections-move-to-november.

Richard Grondin filed to run for a seat on the Churchill County Mosquito, Vector & Weed Abatement Board of Trustees.

At the county, several candidates filed for re-election including Denise Mondhink-Felton for Assessor, Linda Rothery for Clerk/Treasurer, Arthur Mallory for District Attorney, Tasha Hessey for Recorder, and Richard Hickox for Sheriff. Bob Getto filed for reelection as Public Administrator.

Sheriff Hickox is being challenged by Daniel Ray Sharp.

Seven candidates have filed to run for four open seats on the school board, meaning there will not be a primary race and all seven will appear on the general election ballot in November. The top four will be elected. Amber Getto has filed for re-election along with Matt Hyde. Newcomers Julie Guerrero-Goetsch, Joe McFadden, Bill Post, Walter Henderson, and Ivy Ward have also joined the race. Incumbents Carmen Schank and Fred Buckmaster did not file for re-election.

School board candidates run at large in a non-partisan race.

Churchill County Commissioner Greg Koenig and Lyon County Commissioner Vida Keller have each filed to run for the Assembly District 38 seat that Robin Titus is vacating to run for the State Senate District 17 seat. James Settelmeyer currently holds that seat but is term-limited out.

Titus is being challenged in the Senate District 17 race by Assemblyman Jim Wheeler of Douglas County.

The Primary Election will be held on June 14 with Early Voting beginning Saturday, May 28, and running through Friday, June 10. The General Election will be on November 8.

The Fallon Post will continue providing profiles on each candidate and will host a candidate forum closer to the primary election. Please send any Election Year-related questions to [email protected] and we will get answers made available as soon as possible. If you are asking, likely ten other people have the same question.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
