May 19th Primary Election is Important

Dennis G. Welches

You should be receiving your ballots in the mail at the end of April for the May 19^th Primary election. All voters, regardless of their party registration, will receive a Nonpartisan Ballot which has Judges, County Commissioners, and other elected positions. It will also have two measures: Statewide Fuel Road Tax Measure and County Public Safety Measure. 

The November Election is getting a lot of attention, so this Primary Election may be overlooked. Many of the candidates are running unopposed, others have a large number running for one position. If more than two candidates are running, then the top two receiving the most votes will move on to the general election. 

There are only two candidates running for County Commissioner Position 5. So in this case, the winner of the primary will become County Commissioner for the next four years. Please consider casting your vote for Sonya Fisher for this position. She has been a County Commissioner in the past, has served our community and the county well, and would like to serve us again.
