15 minutes with Joe Sehlhorst, Bluffton council member

Posted by Staff on October 24, 2023 - 7:30am

One of two council incumbents running as official write-in candidates

By Andy Chappell-Dick

This is the third installment of interviews with local candidates for Village of Bluffton elections on November 7. Like Ben Stahl, Joe Sehlhort is running unopposed to reclaim his seat on Council. Neither will appear on the ballot but they are approved as write-in candidates, so take note on how to spell their names. STAHL and SEHLHORST are the youngest current Councilors by an arguably wide margin. Sehlhorst has already served three four-year terms.

Q. What is your 20-second elevator speech for promoting Bluffton?
A. Welcome to Bluffton. If you are here to visit, you will be pleased to see all the shops and restaurants that will be able to meet many of your needs. Have time to take a stroll. We have plenty of sidewalks that connect through our safe neighborhoods and pathways to guide you to our many beautiful parks. Can’t fit that all in just one day and want to see more. Why not consider becoming part of our community. We would love to have you as a neighbor.
