(KAIR)--The current Atchison County Treasurer seeks to retain the position. 

That comes as Cummings resident Sheila Bilderback files for re-election. 

According to County Clerk Pauline Lee, Bilderback filed by petition Monday morning as a Republican. 

Bilderback is challenged for the seat by fellow republican Connie Ellerman, who filed last week by petition. 

The Effingham resident currently serves as Noxious Weed Director for the County. 

Both Bilderback and Ellerman will be placed on the August Second Primary Election ballot. 

Candidates have until Noon June 1st to file.
