(KAIR)--The filing deadline has now passed for candidates seeking election to local city government seats and school boards in the November 7 General Election.

That includes seven running for the three open seats on the Atchison City Commission.

Those candidates include incumbents Larry Purcell, Dr. Allen Reavis and David Haussmann, along with former Atchison County Commissioner George Ross, Jr., Atchison Planning Commissioner Floyd “Jay” Robinson, Atchison Parks and Forestry Board Member Shawn Rizza, and Michael Hein.

Four seats are open on the USD 409 Board of Education, with the incumbents currently holding those seats facing no challengers.

In the Muscotah City Council race, filings include Brian Higley for Mayor, while Susan Higley, Darryl Hundley, Dale Small, and Dalia Wilson all filed for council positions.

Lancaster Mayor Tim Callahan will seek re-election, as will Jaquetta Peak, in Huron.
