One incumbent and three challengers are vying for two seats on the Scottsbluff City Council. While priorities differ, two of the candidates cited the city’s need to seat a new city manager as their top concern. Interim city manager Rick Kuckkahn has been filling the role since former city manager Nathan Johnson left for a similar position in Colorado in March. When Colwell first ran for city council, he said he had seen himself running for school board, but involvement with Leadership Scotts Bluff made him see the potential of the city and prompted him to go the city council route. “I just found that fascinating, city government.”Prior to election to the city council, Gonzales was on the Western Community College Board of Governors.
