Find Out MoreOregon primary elections are next Tuesday, May 19 and ballots include four candidates for three seats on the EWEB Board of Commissioners.
Matt McRae is running for Wards 1 and 8, to replace Board President Steve Mital, who has decided to relinquish his seat after serving as an EWEB Commissioner since 2013.
Two candidates are competing to replace Commissioner Dick Helgeson in Wards 2 and 3—John Barofsky and Vince McClellan. Commissioner Helgeson has served on the Board since 2012, and has decided not to run for re-election.
Finally, Commissioner Sonya Carlson is seeking to retain her seat representing Wards 6 and 7. Commissioner Carlson has served on the Board since 2017.
Primary voting results will determine which candidates appear on the General Election ballot in November. If any one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the votes in the primary, that candidate's name will be the only one appearing on the November ballot. If no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast for that office in the primary, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be listed on the November ballot.
The citizens of Eugene elect five commissioners to four-year terms on the EWEB Board. Commissioners dedicate their service to the utility as volunteers without pay, and are responsible for overall governance of the utility. They set policies, approve the annual budget and make changes to electric and water prices when necessary.
Four commissioners represent specific wards of the city; the fifth member is elected "at large" by all city voters.
Electors may vote for any candidate seeking to represent them. If you're not sure which ward you live in, check out this online tool—enter your address and find your Ward and Neighborhood Association.
