MEDICINE HAT, AB — Longtime Cypress County Councillor Garry Lentz is running for re-election.

Lentz revealed the news Tuesday afternoon that he will be seeking his sixth term.

Chairman of the Agricultural Service Board, Lentz has spent sixteen years in office.

“There’s really not too much to announce until after nomination day,” said Lentz. “That’s when the rubber hits the pavement so to speak.”

The Ward 4 councillor has one opponent so far in the form of Robin Kurpjuweit.

Kurpjuweit is currently a member of the Cypress County Municipal Planning Commission.

The county election is set to take place on October 16 and will result in 9 councillors winning seats.
