In the last two issues of the Cook County News-Herald, candidates for the Lutsen, Tofte and Schroeder town board were introduced. Now it is time for citizens to head to the polls and vote for the person they want representing them. Polls for all three townships open at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13. Polls close at 8 p.m. and each township holds its annual meeting at that time.
Lutsen voters have tough choices
The township of Lutsen has a full ballot as well as a write-in candidate. Two people filed to run as town clerk—Silviyia Duclos and Gail Thompson will be on the ballot. Two people also filed to run for township supervisor—Alta McQuatters and Ginny Storlie, so their names are on the official ballot. Announcing on February 18 that he intended to run as a write-in candidate was Larry McNeally.
The Lutsen polls are at the Lutsen Town Hall/Firehall at 116 Caribou Trail. The town meeting is also held there.
Tofte incumbents on the ballot
Candidates on the Tofte ballot are running unopposed. Running for re-election in Tofte is Paul James as supervisor and Barb Gervais as clerk.
Tofte elections are not held at the town hall building. The polls will be open at the Birch Grove Community Center at 7 Good Neighbor Hill Drive in Tofte. The annual meeting will also be at the community center when the polls close.
Schroeder sees new faces
The township of Schroeder has no names on the ballot, but fortunately two write-in candidates have come forward. Running for supervisor is Deb Johnson and running for clerk is Doug Schwecke.
Schroeder elections and the annual meeting will be held at the Schroeder Town Hall at 124 Cramer Road in Schroeder.
