East Side voters will have a varied slate of candidates to choose from based on the filings submitted by the end-of-week deadline.

Each municipality — Oakley, Coalville, Francis, Kamas and Henefer — will elect a mayor and at least two town or city council seats in the 2025 election. The candidate filing period opened on Monday, June 2, and remained open until 5 p.m. on Friday.

In Oakley, incumbent Mayor Zane Woolstenhulme announced his intent to run for reelection. Oakley City Councilor Steve Wilmoth filed as a challenger. 

Two seats on the Oakley City Council with four-year terms will also appear on the ballot. Amy Regan, Kerbee Leavitt and Christopher Dillman declared their candidacy. All three would be newcomers.

Coalville saw several candidates for mayor emerge, including Summit County Democratic Party Chair Rory Swensen, North Summit Fire Service District Administrative Battalion Chief Tyler Rowser, Coalville City Councilor Lynn Wood and former Coalville City Planning Commissioner Walter Brock. Incumbent Mayor Mark Marsh did not file for reelection.

Quite a few candidates are also vying for two seats with four-year terms on the Coalville City Council. The individuals who declared their candidacy are: Chris Tomczyk, Matthew Boyer, Andrew Nelson, Jeff Peterson, Colleen Goodman and Steven Richins. Boyer serves on the Planning Commission.

Francis City voters will choose between two candidates for mayor, including incumbent Jeremie Forman. Byron Ames also filed to run.

City Council incumbents Shana Fryer and Clayton Querry announced their plans to run for reelection. They are challenged by Lynsi Stone and Riley Atkinson, as well as Francis City Planning Commission Chair Justin Ciampi and Planning Commissioner Scott Buchanan.

Kamas Mayor Matt McCormick declared his intent to run for reelection. No one filed to run against him.

Incumbent Kamas City Councilor David Darcey is also running for another four-year term. Steve Cyr, Kandilee Sauter and Michael Georgi also declared their candidacies for two open seats. 

Henefer officials published a municipal election notice on May 30. However, the website does not include any information about which candidates have declared. The town has its mayor and three at-large council seats on the ballot.

Coalville and Francis are the only municipalities with enough candidates to qualify for a primary election, which will be held on Aug. 12. The general election is Nov. 4.
