Two Shelby County Commissioner races are now set and three new At-Large representatives for the Shelby County Council were selected Tuesday during the Primary Election.
Commissioners Kevin Nigh (R-Center District) and Don Parker (R-South District) are stepping down at the end of their term this year. On Tuesday, three men and one woman vying to be their replacement were determined.
In the Center District, David Lawson defeated Tom Rogers, 3,343 votes to 1,998, for the Republican seat. He will be challenged by the Democratic nominee Winnie Soviar, who ran unopposed.
In the South District, Nathan Runnebohm defeated J.T. Doane, 3,839 to 1,378, to earn the Republican spot on the ballot. He will face Democrat Joe Land, also running unopposed Tuesday, in the General Election on Nov. 5.
Six people campaigned for three At-Large seats on the Shelby County Council. Charity Mohr received the most votes (2,942) followed by Troy Merrick (2,606) and Jeremy Ruble (2,045) – all Republicans. They bested Judy Lauziere (1,953), David Crisler (1,716) and Shawn Goolsby (1,426) and will assume seats on the Shelby County Council in 2025.
