Another candidate for Hillsboro City Council will appear on the ballot this fall after the local Republican Party appointed an East Walnut Street resident.

Wendy Culbreath will run for the Ward 3 spot after two previous Republican hopefuls dropped out. She will face off against Democrat Tim Countryman.

Steve Witham, elections administrator for the Highland County Board of Elections, said Culbreath’s candidacy was approved by election board members Friday morning. The party had until Aug. 14 to name a replacement, said Witham. They met that deadline, and the board certified Culbreath’s candidacy.
