The races are now set for the election for local city and school board positions.
The filing deadline for the non-partisan election was noon Tuesday. A sufficient number of candidates filed to force primaries for races for the Leavenworth City Commission and the Lansing Board of Education.
The primary election will take place Aug. 3. The general election will be Nov. 2.
Members of the City Commission are elected to at-large positions. This means each commissioner represents the entire city rather than a specific ward or district.
There are three positions on the Leavenworth City Commission that are up for election this year. Eleven people filed as candidates for the three positions. They are incumbents Mike Griswold, Jermaine Wilson and Mark Preisinger as well as Maren Hart, Griff Martin, Edd Hingula, Ted Davis, Christopher Murphy, Michael Lay, Michael A. Bunch and Thomas J. Beal Jr., according to a list from the County Clerk’s Office.
