Election detail coming next week

    Three local races for Phillips County officials were finalized in the June primary election, so all County officials on the Nov. 6 ballot were running unopposed.
    Those elected for four-year terms were Terry Hofmeister, commissioner district 1; Beth Zilla, clerk and recorder; Sharon Michael, treasurer; Doug Kamery, assessor; Thomas Elliott, sheriff; and Dennis Jelden, coroner.
    Highly contested races were seen in statewide and special district races. The results of how Phillips County voted, compared to the state vote outcome, will appear in next week’s edition of The Holyoke Enterprise.
    Additionally, the voting results for 13 state measures, including nine amendments (Constitutional) and four propositions (statutory), will be reviewed in next week’s paper. A 13th Judicial District ballot question regarding changing term limits from two to three terms for the office of district attorney was also decided in the Nov. 6 vote.
    State races on this year’s general election ballot for Phillips County voters were for the offices of governor/lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, board of education member from the 4th Congressional District, at-large regent of the University of Colorado, state senator in District 1 and state representative in District 65.
    The only federal office on the Phillips County ballot was for representative to the 116th United States Congress from District 4.
