In Our View: Did You Vote?

Ballots must be turned in or postmarked today; a reminder of our suggested picks

Ballots for the primary election must be turned in or postmarked by today. For most races with more than two candidates, The Columbian’s Editorial Board interviewed candidates and offered recommendations.

As always, these are merely suggestions designed to provide information and foster discussion. The top two vote-getters in each race will advance to the general election, and the editorial board will narrow its recommendations to one candidate following the primary. A recap of the races in which we have offered suggestions:

Congressional representative, Washington’s 3rd District: Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler and Democrat Carolyn Long.

Clark County chair: Marc Boldt, who is running as an independent, and Democrat Eric Holt.

Clark County Council, District 1: Democrat Temple Lentz and Republican Jeanne Stewart.

17th Legislative District representative, Pos. 1: Democrat Tanisha Harris and Republican Vicki Kraft.

Vancouver City Council, Pos. 1: Mary Elkin and Laurie Lebowsky. Sarah Fox also is a worthy candidate.

Clark Public Utilities commissioner, District 1: Jim Malinowky, Sherry Erickson and Judy Chipman all are outstanding candidates. The editorial board was unable to narrow the choice to two.
