(June 18, 2015) Former OPA Board Director Terri Mohr won the 2015 candidate draw on Thursday, June 11.
Six of the seven candidates for office attended the meeting, held in the OPA Board Room in the Administration Office.
Thanks to the draw, Mohr, who served one three-year term before losing a reelection bid last year, will have her name come up first on this year’s ballots.
“The first time I ran, I was first [in the candidate draw] too,” Mohr said. “It can be a good thing and it can be a not-so-good thing, especially when we’re doing candidates questions and forums – you first! But I like the number one.”
Newcomer Cheryl Jacobs came in second in the draw, followed by Ray Unger, Thomas Herrick, Bill Zawacki, Carol Ludwig and Slobodan Trendic.
Mohr will indeed speak first when the seven candidates, vying for two spots on the board, face off during a candidate forum on Wednesday, June 24 at 6 p.m. at the Assateague Room in the Ocean Pines Community Center.
The Ocean Pines Elections Committee is seeking questions from residents for the forum. The length of each question must be 75 words or less. Residents can submit questions by calling the committee at 410-208-3989, or sending questions by email to Committee Chair Bill Wentworth at bwentworth104@verizon.net.
