5 Republicans compete for county commissioner seats

Butler County Courthouse Seb Foltz/Butler Eagle

Republicans participating in the May 16 primary election will choose two of five candidates to likely become county commissioners.

Three Republicans — Joseph King, a self-employed farmer from Valencia; Ryan Covert of Chicora, a business owner and Republican Committee member; and Zachary Scherer, of Chicora, a sales consultant at Mike Kelly Automotive — are challenging Republican incumbents Leslie Osche and Kim Geyer for party nominations. The two with the most votes will proceed to the November election, where voters will choose three people to fill the county commissioner seats.

No Democratic candidates have filed to challenge Democratic Commissioner Kevin Boozel, which indicates that he will proceed to the November ballot along with two of the Republicans.

Up to two Republican candidates and two Democratic candidates who win their party nominations in the primary move on to the general election in November.
