In the race for the other county commission seat on the ballot, challenger Greg Prestegard led incumbent Mike Backman 177-123 in the District 1 voting. Both candidates will be on the general election ballot.
All other races were district, state wide or federal election. The top two candidates advance to the general election, no matter party affiliation.
