Democrats Erika Smith and Chris Reed, with 667 and 541 votes, respectively, and Republicans Jason (Jay) Kirkland and Lisa Stevenson Barker, with 1,081 and 721 votes, respectively, will proceed to the General Election. In November, the four candidates will face off for two open spots currently held by Phil Carson and Bobby Jenkins on the board of county commissioners. Carson sought re-election as a Republican but came in last of the three contenders, while Jenkins threw his hat in the ring and finished second in the Primary for chair of commissioners.
