There won’t be a need for a special, Republican nominating convention in Cass County. With six candidates on the ballot for the Board of Supervisor’s race in District 4, there was a chance none would obtain the required 35-percent of the vote needed in order to avoid a special convention, but that situation was averted, when Steve Baier, of Griswold, came away from Tuesday’s Primary Election with 170 votes, or 39.8-percent. In District 1, Steve Green grabbed 59.1-percent of the vote, ensuring there would be no need for a convention in that three-man Republican race.

In Cass County District 5, incumbent Republican Frank Waters garnered 56-percent of the vote in his three-man race, and incumbent Republican Auditor Dale Sunderman received 54.1-percent of the votes cast, in his win over Wendy Richter.  Green, Baier and Sunderman move on to represent the Republican party in the November General Election. Voter turnout in Cass County was 20.5%, or 1,982 ballots cast out of 9,884 registered voters.

Elsewhere, in Audubon County, incumbent Republican Sheriff Todd Johnson was defeated by his deputy, and fellow Republican, Brian Juelsgaard. Juelsgaard came away with 53-percent of the vote (705) to Johnson’s 47-percent (624 votes). And, incumbent Republican Todd Nelson, along with Rick Thompson, both received the most votes in the three-man race for 2 At Large seats on the Audubon County Board of Supervisors. Thompson received 711 votes (36.4%), while Nelson received 658 votes (33.7%). Doug Sorensen garnered 572 votes (29.3%).  (*This is a correction from earlier reports and posts)

In Guthrie County, Jack E. Lloyd won the three-way Republican race for the Board of Supervisors in District 1, when he received 46.1-percent of the votes cast. In Shelby County, incumbent Republicans Steve Kenkel and Charlie Parkhurst were the winners in the three-way race for the Board of Supervisors. In Montgomery County, incumbent Bryant Amos got the nod for re-election over his Republican opponent, Mike McCunn, with his 16-percent margin of victory in the District 3 race for the Board of Supervisors. Voter turnout in Montgomery County was only 12.39%.

And, in Pottawattamie County, Republicans Marilyn Jo Drake and Tim Wichman moved on to the November General Election, where they will face Democrat Bart Randolph for two seats on the Board of Supervisors. Five candidates had been vying for the chance to move on to November, in Tuesday’s Primary.
