Local rural electric cooperative Holy Cross Energy has announced eight candidates running for two seats on the HCE Board of Directors in its upcoming election. As a cooperative, HCE’s members are also its owners and are encouraged to take an active role as a member and vote. Directors represent the membership and guide HCE’s strategic objectives. 

One Director seat is in the cooperative’s Western District, generally comprised of the towns west of Basalt, and one seat is in the Northern District, which includes the Vail and Eagle River Valleys.

Western District candidates include Thomas Sherman, Peggy Meyer and incumbent Alex DeGolia. 

Northern District candidates include Kimberly Schlaepfer, Craig Arthur Brown, Linn Brooks, Brian Brandl and Roseann Casey. Incumbent David Campbell is not seeking re-election.
