On To August
| The county primary election has come and gone. Now
it's on to the August general election. 11 of the 18 county races were
decided in the primary since there were no democrats or independents
running for those positions. Those include the Sheriff, Trustee,
Registered Of Deeds, County Court Clerk, Circuit Court Clerk and Road
Commissioner. Also decided in the primary were county commission, 1st
District seat "A", 2nd District seat "B", 3rd District, 4th District and
7th District. Even though all these contests were decided in the primary
election they will be on the August general election ballot but all will
be unopposed. Races that will go on the the county general will be: County Mayor. Democrat Matt Brookshire will face Republican Estelle Herron. General Sessions Judge.
