Hight challenges O’Geary for Mayor


The last day of filing has proven to be an interesting one for the Henderson municipal election.

Frank Terry filed to run today for the Ward 3 seat. He will challenge Garry Daeke.

Horace P. Bullock filed to run for the Ward 4 Henderson City Council spot. He will challenge Council veteran Lonnie Davis.

Lora Durham will challenge Ranger Wilkerson for his Ward 4 at-large seat, making it a three-way race along with challenger George Daye.

In a surprise move, Jeanne Hight will take on Pete O’Geary for Mayor of Henderson. She unsuccessfully challenged Clem Seifert for the office in 2003.
