Voters in Shelby County have three Republican candidates for Supervisor to choose during Tuesday’s primary election. Two will move on to fill two open seats in November. Republicans on the ballot Tuesday include Steve Kenkel, Charlie Parkhurst and Loren Christensen. Kendall and Parkhurst are the incumbents.

Also up for election this year (in November), is Democrat incumbent County Auditor Marsha Carter, who faces a challenge by Republican Mark Maxwell. They will face off in a forum tentatively set for October. Shelby County Republican Sheriff candidate Neil Gross is unopposed in his bid to replace Mark Hervey, who has announced his retirement.
