The race for the next mayor of Oak Harbor is headed to the Aug. 4 primary election.

Martha Yount, a former council candidate, filed to run Friday afternoon, the last day of Filing Week in Washington state.

Yount will go up against councilmen Jim Campbell and Bob Severns. Both men filed on May 11.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley announced last month that he isn’t seeking reelection after serving a single term in office.

Yount, a retired small-business owner, was one of four candidates who ran for a single council seat in 2011. Councilwoman Tara Hizon won the seat.

Yount, who could not be reached for comment, is a longtime city resident and a regular council attendee.

When she ran for council, she described herself as a team player and a supporter of former mayor Jim Slowik. She said her top priorities were public safety and keeping the city’s environment clean.

In addition, a third candidate has entered the race for a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner seat.

Rita Drum, a rural Oak Harbor resident, became the third person to file for position 2 on the hospital’s board of commissioners. She will go up against incumbent Georgia Gardner and hospital blogger Rob Born in the primary, which will narrow the candidates to the two top.

In Coupeville races, not a single candidate will be facing a challenger.

Molly Hughes was the only person to file for the mayor race and three council seats will be filled by newcomers Lisa Bernhardt, Catherine Ballay and incumbent Jackie Henderson.

Glenda Merwine and Christine Sears both filed for their seats on the Coupeville School Board unopposed and Steve Hutchinson filed unopposed for the Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue Board of Commissioners.

Two open positions with the Port of Coupeville were filled by William Bell, who currently owns a coffee shop that operates on the wharf, and John Mishasek, who also serves on the board for the Economic Development Council.

All five of the board positions for the North Whidbey Parks and Recreation District will be on the next ballot. Board members Donna Sue Holly and Wendy Shingleton filed to run. Three new candidates have filed to serve on the board, Cecil Pierce, Richard Fort and Shane Hoffmire, the son of current board member Steve Hoffmire.

Fort has criticized the board in the past for using taxpayer money to subsidize youth and adult swim clubs that practice at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

The elder Hoffmire didn’t file to run again and nor did board director Sean Merrill.
