The Cass County Auditor’s Office late Friday afternoon updated the roster of candidates who have filed certified nomination papers for the June 7th Primary election. By the end of the day, there were three Republicans running in each of the Board of Supervisors Districts 1 and 4. The latest addition was Atlantic Police Chief Steve Green, who is running for the District 1 Supervisor’s seat. He faces a challenge from Atlantic Mayor Dave Jones who filed nomination papers on  Monday, and Dale Retallic, who threw his hat into the ring on Tuesday. No democrats have filed for the seat, thus far.

Another candidate also threw their hat into the ring for the District 4 seat on the Cass County Board of Supervisors. Todd Hansen, a Republican from Atlantic filed nomination papers Friday, for the seat left open when Chuck Rieken decided against running for re-election. Hansen joins fellow Republicans Steve Baier and Barry Moore in the District 4 race heading into the June 7th Cass County Primary Election. No democrats have filed for the seat. The filing period opened this past Monday, and closes at the end of the day on March 30th.

Republican Frank Waters is vying for re-election to the Board of Supervisors in District 5, and County Auditor Dale Sunderman as well as Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren have both filed for re-election on the Republican ticket. No democrats have filed for any of those positions.
