Third Party Forms for Village Vote

Wed, Apr 27, 2011

Three candidates decide to form the new Bullthistle Party to run for three open seats in June's village election.

When village residents go to the polls this June to elect a new mayor and two new trustees, their choices will include candidates from a new political party.

Debbie Kliman tonight confirmed that she and Anne Clauss are running for the two trustee spots from the Bullthistle Party and current trustee Margaret Miller is the new party's candidate for mayor.

Kliman decline to give anymore details about the new party and why she and the other two women decided it needed to be formed.

Kliman ran unsuccessfully for a trustee spot as a Democrat and on the Community party line in last June's election. Miller has run in the past as a Republican. This is Clauss' first run for elected office.

If the village Democrats and Republicans field full slates of candidates, voters could have to chose to fill two trustee seats from a field of six candidates. And, there could be three mayoral candidates.
