First day of filings busy for commission

The race for two seats on the Park County Commission has already proven a crowded one.

Five contenders filed for the position today (Thursday), the opening of the filing period for the Aug. 21 primary election.

They are:

• Current commissioner Bucky Hall of Cody
• Greg Gaspers, a Cody designer
• Alex Gisoldi of Wapiti, a former Park County Homeland Security coordinator
• Lee Livingston, a Wapiti outfitter
• Bob Stevens, a Wapiti attorney

Hall, Gaspers and Livingston all had previously announced their intent to run.

Powell City Councilman John Wetzel did not file today, but has previously said he plans to run.

All six men will run as Republicans.

The filing period runs through June 1.
