UPDATE: In an email to The Election Hub on September 24, King wrote, "Unfortunately, I am no longer campaigning for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor. My family has made the decision to move out-of-state within the year, so I cannot, in good conscience, accept a position with the district, should I win the election. My name will still appear on the ballot, as it was too late to remove it when our decision was made, but I encourage voters to choose amongst the other candidates for their votes to this office seat."
