Craig Degginger, who has placed third in the Tuesday, Aug. 6, primary election for position 4 on the Ronald Wastewater District Board, issued this endorsement of primary leader George Webster Thursday:
“I have endorsed George Webster for Position 4. His career experience in engineering makes him an excellent choice for commissioner in the general election.”
Webster will face appointed incumbent Richard Matthews in the Nov. 6 general election. The winner will serve a six-year term that begins at the end of the year and the last month of the term that Matthews holds by appointment.
Webster leads in primary votes counted through Friday evening with 39.19 percent of the vote to 36.81 percent for Matthews and 23.35 percent for Degginger.
The second new position created after the 2011 election will appear on the 2015 ballot.
Also on the Tuesday primary ballot, challengers Gretchen Atkinson and Ginny Scantlebury apparently eliminated longtime Position 2 Commissioner Arthur Wadekamper, with Atkinson holding 34.67 percent of the votes to 34.70 percent for Scantlebury and 28.95 percent for Wadekamper. The November winner will serve a six-year term for the position that Wadekamper won without opposition in 2001 and 2007.
