Candidate Filing Closes March 15

As candidate filing for the 2024 Election season comes to a close Friday, March 15, at 5 p.m., a healthy stable of candidates has filed for various offices in the City of Fallon and Churchill County.  

As of Tuesday, March 12, only two candidates had filed for Churchill County School Board, Board President Gregg Malkovich for re-election and Wendy Bullock for an open seat. Kathryn Whitaker has since filed for re-election. There are currently three open seats, and Tricia Strasdin confirmed she will not run. 

The filing for County Commission seats has been robust. Four candidates filed in District 3, the seat currently held by Bus Scharmann: Eric Blakey, John Caetano, Rusty Jardine, and Todd Moretto. District 1 is a contest between two current school board members, Julie Guerrero-Goetsch and Matt Hyde.

Justice of the Peace has drawn three candidates: incumbent Judge Ben Trotter, Stuart Richardson, and Brenda Ingram.

The Mosquito, Vector & Noxious Weed Abatement Board has three candidates: David Brown, Marion Jonte, and Cynthia McGarrah.

In the City of Fallon, Mayor Ken Tedford has filed for re-election, as has Councilwoman Karla Kent. Luai N. Ababneh has filed to oppose the mayor.

Potential candidates have until 5 p.m. on Friday, March 15, to enter these local races. Filing takes place at the Churchill County Clerk’s office for county seats and the City Clerk’s office for city seats.

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
