The official election date is Tuesday, Nov.8, but the election is being conducted entirely by mail. Local races, except for Clark County Commissioner, District 3 are non partisan. Steve Stewart, Democrat, who was appointed to the three-member board of commissioners last December is being challenged by former 18h District state representative Republican Tom Mielke. There are a half dozen statewide issues, the most significant of which is Initiative 912,which calls for a repeal of the 9.5-cent gasoline tax approved by the last session of the state legislature. If I-912 is approved it will affect nearly a quarter of a million dollars of state and local highway projects in Clark County. Local issues include the proposed library remodel and expansion and a Ridgefield School District property acquisition for a future high school.
