Challengers Atkinson, Scantlebury lead incumbent Wadekamper for full term on Ronald Wastewater District Board

By Evan Smith

Ronald Wastewater District Board challengers Gretchen Atkinson and Ginny Scantlebury both led incumbent Arthur Wadekamper in early results from the Tuesday primary election reported through Wednesday evening.

Atkinson, with 35.36 percent of the primary vote, and Scantlebury, with 34.45 percent, appear to be headed for a November runoff after they led Wadekamper, who had 29.5 percent of the early returns.

Wadekamper won without opposition for six-year terms in both 2001 and 2007.
