Five member/owners filed candidacy and ran in the 2026 election. The full election tally is: Hannah Breckbill, 188 votes; Flannery Cerbin-Bohach, 181 votes; Brennan Allsworth, 154 votes; Parker Deen, 141 votes; Andrea Eger, 99 votes. Each person voting was allowed to choose two, differing candidates. 370 digital ballots were cast, and 19 paper ones. Two paper ballots were disqualified due to one non-signed envelope and one vote that was cast by a non-member.
The digital portion of our election was managed by Election Runner. Paper ballots were then tallied and verified on site. Completing this final stage were Piper Wood, board president, Nate Furler, general manager, Tanya O’Connor, marketing manager, and member/owners Barb and Jim Dale. We thank the Dales for their decades of service to our electoral processes, and are grateful to all who participated in our democratic process. An additional thank you to those who ran in this year’s election is extended.
Breckbill, Cerbin-Bohach, and Allsworth’s first meeting in their new capacity is at the Tuesday, April 28 meeting of the board of directors. This meeting commences at 6 p.m. in the Oneota Co-op Kitchen Classroom (two doors east of the Co-op’s main doors).The public is welcome to attend.
