Council election in Eagle will feature 5 candidates, 2 incumbents, for 3 open seats
Vail Daily archive
Three of the seven elected officials serving on the Eagle Town Council will reach the end of their terms in November, and two of those council members will run for reelection.
Those incumbents — Jamie Woodworth Foral and Nick Sunday — will be two of five locals contesting the available seats in the November election this year.
Three other candidates — Bryan Woods, Robert D’Agostino, Thomas Olden — have also filed their paperwork to join the election contesting the three open seats, but only Woods will be on the ballot. Olden and D’Agostino filed affidavits for intent to be a write-in candidate, meaning Eagle voters will have to write in their names, rather than checking a box, to cast their vote for those candidates.
The elected candidates will join Mayor Scott Turnipseed, Mayor Pro Tem Mikel “Pappy” Kerst, and Council members Ellen Bodenhemier and Geoffrey Grimmer. Grimmer has also announced his run for Eagle County commissioner in the 2024 election, which could create an additional open seat next year.
Grimmer, Turnipseed, Kerst and Bodenhemier are currently serving terms that expire in 2025.
