Two candidates for Menahga city offices withdrew last week during the allowed time.

Interim clerk/treasurer Susie Larson said longtime council member Dennis Komulainen and mayoral candidate Kurt Clark Sr, both withdrew their names for consideration on the November ballot.

Supervisor B: Brenda Carpenter;

Supervisor C: Edward "Ed" DeLaHunt, Dacle L. Schmid, Jr.;

Supervisor D: Gary Nasser

Supervisor E: Russell Johnsrud.

No one has filed for the township clerk position that Carpenter currently holds.

"It's an important position," Carpenter said. "You run all the elections."

"Maybe someone will have a write-in campaign or the board will appoint a new clerk," she said.
