Four candidates have signed up to run for two Soil and Water Conservation Supervisor seats on the November ballot.
Incumbents James Malpass and Frank Galloway filed for reelection along with challengers Latoya Beatty and Lanny Formyduval.
Galloway is from Hallsboro. Beatty lives in Bolton. Malpass is from Delco, and Formyduval lives in Nakina.
The board is comprised of five members, three of whom are elected and two are appointed by the County Commissioners. The Soil and Water board is non-partisan. Board members serve two-year terms.
Under N.C. General Statute 139, soil and water conservation districts are organized as governmental subdivisions of the state and independent political boards. District boards work with county, state and federal governments as well as public and private organizations in a non-regulatory capacity to carry out conservation programs such as erosion control and water quality protection, among other tasks.
