OTTUMWA -- The race for mayor in the city of Ottumwa will pit incumbent Dale Uehling against challenger Frank Flanders

Mayor Uehling tallied the most votes in Tuesday’s primary with 740, followed by Frank Flanders with 511 and Robert LaPoint with 276.  LaPoint will be left off the Nov. 8 general election ballot.

KTVO spoke with mayor Uehling today and he will be back on the campaign trail.

“I certainly will be working hard,” Uehling said.  “We’re going to be making a lot of contacts.  I have a campaign committee and we’ll be working with them.  I’ll be knocking on doors.  We’ll have more ads and more signs going up.”

Both Uehling and Flanders will participate in The League of Women Voters forum that could be held on Thursday, Oct. 27.  KTVO also spoke with Frank Flanders Wednesday and we’ll have more on his thoughts Thursday on KTVO CBS 3.2 at 6:30 p.m.
