Clayton, Mayberry, Tucker run for Thornfield board; Crisp and Miller vie for Gainesville City Council seat

This week the Times publishes profiles of five of the eight Ozark County candidates running for positions in the April 6 General Municipal Election. 

Two candidates, incumbent Dana Crisp and challenger Debbie Miller, are running for the East Ward seat on the Gainesville City Council, a two-year term. Three candidates, incumbents Darrin Clayton and Josh Mayberry and challenger Travis Tucker, are running for two three-year positions on the Thornfield School Board. 

Profiles of the three candidates running for two three-year terms on the Dora School Board –  incumbents Terry Martin and Robert Lee and challenger Gwen Chambers – were published in last week’s Times. 

The profiles were created from the candidates’ responses to questions that were sent to them by the Times.
