Elections
I’ve had a few people ask me which positions are up for election this year. There are actually very few local positions up for election, but many statewide elections. Here’s the info:
Filing deadline – Noon, Thursday, June 10
Primary election – Tuesday, Aug. 3
General election – Tuesday, Nov. 2
Local positions
Special election for sheriff
Special election for register of deeds
County Commission – Alison Mueller’s position is up for election, which includes Hanover, Barnes, Greenleaf area.
Township officers – This includes the precinct committeemen and committeewomen who have been very busy in the last few years with appointments of county attorney, county treasurer, county sheriff and register of deeds!
State positions
Governor/Lt. Governor
Secretary of State
Attorney General
State Treasurer
Commission of Insurance
State Representative (Sharon Schwartz’s position)
State Board of Education
Supreme Court/Court of Appeals
District Court Judge
District Magistrate Judge
National positions
US Senator (Sam Brownback’s position)
US Representative (Jerry Moran’s position)
Brownback is running for Governor and Moran is running for Brownback’s senate seat.
Who would you like to see run for these positions? Or if someone has already filed, who are you promoting? What issues need to be discussed?
Or use this space to announce your candidacy.
Am I mistaken or isn’t the sheriff’s job up for election this November ?
Oh shoot. You’re right. I omitted the sheriff and register of deeds in the paper too. I was going off an election report and since the sheriff and register of deeds are special elections, they weren’t listed. I’m going to have to do a correction in next week’s paper and I’ll update this post. Thanks for the catch!
