There was one new candidate filing in Geary County Monday morning. Fredrick Reid filed for election to Sheriff. He filed as a Democrat and will challenge Republican Dan Jackson. 

In the Geary County Commission District One race there are three candidates who have filed including Brad Scholz, Todd Godfrey and Mike Rhodes. A fourth candidate, Trish Giordano, has announced that she will seek election, but since she is an Independent does not have to file until August 3rd.

The Second District Geary County Commission ballot will include Democrat Alex Tyson and Republican Charles Stimatze. Keith Ascher is running unopposed in the Third County Commission District.

In the Geary County Clerk's race Republican Rebecca Nordyke and Democrat Diana Dean will be on the ballot.  

Running unopposed are Kathy Tremont for Treasurer, Krista Blaisdell for County Attorney and Diane Briestensky-Leonard for Register of Deeds.

The filing deadline was at noon on Monday.

Voters in the August primary election will cast ballots on the race between Rhodes, Godfrey and Scholz. All three of those candidates are Republicans. Giordano could then challenge the winner in the November general election.

The outcome of all of the other races in Geary County will be determined in November.
