Just one Rock County office will have a competitive primary race at the Sept. 10 election.
An unusually high number of seven people have filed for the Rock County Auditor/Treasurer position by Tuesday's deadline: Lisa Ahrendt DeBoer, Nic 'O Lena Bosch, Gloria F. Rolfs, Johnna Bowron-Ahrendt, Kim Gehrke, Candace R. Reese and Ona Reker.
No other local offices in the county or city of Luverne will appear on the primary ballot because, at the most, two have filed.
Also filing for office are:
Luverne mayor, Glen Gust and Keith Erickson
Luverne north ward, Pat Baustian
Luverne south ward, Bob Kaczrowski
Rock County Sheriff, Ronnal M. McClure and Michael Winkels
Rock County Attorney, Donald R. Klosterbuer
Rock County Recorder, Jere Ohme
County Commissioner District 2, Richard D. Bakken
County Commissioner District 3, Ron Boyenga
County Commissioner District 4, Robert (Bob) Jarchow
County Commissioner District 5, Jane A. Wildung
SWCD 2, Vicky Smook, SWCD 5, Donald P. Reker.
