On Tuesday’s ballot, there are four candidates for three seats on the Hays City Commission.

Incumbent Henry Schwaller, president of the real estate investment firm Henry Schwaller and Associates and an FHSU business management professor, will be on the ballot along with three political newcomers — Lance Jones, a career counselor with the National Guard; James Meier, a HaysMed pharmacist; and Scott Simpson, owner of Best Radiator.

There are four seats open on the Hays USD 489 Board of Education, with six candidates. Incumbents Greg Schwartz and Sarah Rankin will be joined on the ballot by Leslie Blagrave, Luke Oborny, Dr. Paul Adams and Miranda Fox.

Each of the candidates took part in a forum last month at Fort Hays State University. Click HERE to watch a replay of the forum.

Polls are open in Ellis County from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
