The deadline for filing nominating petitions for county and township elections was today. The county supervisor position for District 2, the seat currently held by Tom Contner, is the only contest. Candidates are Republican Dan Benitz and Democrat Mike Holden.
Although there is only one contest, there are also no positions that will be filled by write-in. There is a name on the ballot for every position.
Also on the county-wide ballot is a Public Measure C, asking voters for funding for a new jail. Ballot language follows: “Shall the County of Greene, State of Iowa, authorize a loan agreement and issue its General Obligation Capital Loan Notes in an amount not exceeding the amount of $12,685,000.00 for the purpose of designing, constructing, equipping, furnishing and making land site improvements for a new Greene County Jail?”
