A challenger has filed nomination papers for the District 5 seat on the Cass County Board of Supervisors, in advance of the June 7th Primary election. The seat is currently held by Republican Frank Waters, of Cumberland. On Tuesday, J. Ford Lillard, of Wiota, submitted certified nomination papers for the election on the Republican ticket.

That means so far, with the March 30th filing deadline approaching, there will be three Board of Supervisors races to follow during the Primary: Lillard and Waters in District 5; Republicans Steve Baier and Barry Moore, of Griswold, and Todd Hansen, of Atlantic, in District 4, and Republicans Steve Green, Dave Jones and Dale Retallic, all of Atlantic, in district 1.

So far, no challengers have filed papers to run against Cass County Republican Auditor Dale Sunderman, or Republican Sheriff, Darby McLaren, and no Democrats have filed in any of the races.
