The election results are in and with a few surprises. Mark French from Paradise will not be moving on to the general election as Denny Rehberg and Michael McDonald will be on the ballot to compete for the congressional seat during the general election in November.
The topic that was under much debate and scrutiny in the weeks leading up to the election was to change elected county official positions to non-partisan with 1,877 votes compared to 1,457 votes to change the positions to non-partisan. All county elected positions will now be non-partisan meaning the candidates up for election and those in office will not be deemed republican or democrat.
The increase for additional mill levies for the Plains public library barely passed with 575 for the increase and 538 against it.
Tom Rummel will be moving on to the general election to campaign for the sheriff seat against Doug Dryden.
Bob Zimmerman is the newly elected county attorney, beating out Naomi Leisz by 416 votes.
Glen Magera will move on to the general election for county commissioner after beating out Ron Olfert. Magera is running against Nancy Beech in the general election.
