There will be just two contested races for county office during the June 5th Primary in Lee and Des Moines Counties.
One of the contests is in the 5th Supervisor District in Lee County.
Chairperson Janet Fife-LaFrenz is being challenged by former Supervisor Matt Pflug in the Democratic Primary. Keokuk Alderman Mike O’Connor will likely face the winner as he was the lone Republican to file in District 5.
Five men filed the paperwork required to fill two seats on the Des Moines County Board of Supervisors. The list does not include incumbent Dan Cahill, who chose not to seek reelection.
The Democratic Primary on June 5 will feature incumbent Bob Beck, Jim Cary and former Supervisor Ben Diewold. The top two vote-getters will move on to November to face Republicans James Seaberg and Darwin Bunger.
