Regionally, the current state representative seat for the 100th
District has a Republican contest between Bill Hinrich and incumbent
Rich Brauer.
Locally, the county has two official positions being contested by
five candidates and a board seat contested, all Republicans.
For Logan County treasurer, Vicki L. Dugan and Charles N. "Chuck"
Conzo are vying for retiring Mary Ellen Bruns' position.
Mary Kelley, Suzann Maxheimer and Rachel Bunner are each seeking
to fill the remaining two years on the circuit clerk seat vacated by
Carla Bender. Bender accepted a state position earlier this year.
Arthur E. "Andy" Anderson III and James H. Griffin are both
seeking the county board seat being vacated by District 5
representative Gloria Luster.
Two other county seats are opening. District 3 is currently held
by John Stewart of Mount Pulaski and District 4 is held by Gloria
Luster of Lincoln.
District 3 has no candidate filed. M.E. Gene Rohlfs is seeking
the seat for District 4.
Running unopposed to maintain their board positions are Charles
Ruben, District 1; Bob Farmer, District 2; and Kevin Bateman,
District 6. This will be Bateman's first run at election. He was
appointed to fill the remaining two-year term of Michael McIntosh
when McIntosh was elected state's attorney.
