2023 nominees for Blue Ridge Electric Co-Op board seats

The field of candidates is set for available seats this year on the policy-making board of the Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative.  In one Blue Ridge service county (Anderson), there is a two-way contest.  The nominees there are Paul Brown and Will Anderson.  A vote of the Blue Ridge customers across the entire service area next month will decide who (Brown or Anderson) fills the seat opened by the death of Ben Bolt.  The nominees in two other counties are Len Talley, for re-election in Oconee County, and William Elrod, for re-election in Pickens County.  Terry Ballenger, Blue Ridge spokesman, says the three elections are to be held in a customer office drive-thru fashion on Wednesday and Thursday, April 26 and 27.
