Atchison Co Sheriff's race only contest for election

(KAIR)--Now that the filing deadline for the 2024 election is set, Atchison County will see one contested race in the August Primary Election.

The deadline to file was Monday, at 12 noon, with the finalized Atchison County candidate list showing Republican Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie challenged by fellow Republican, Adam Potts.

That race had been set prior to the filing deadline, along with other Atchison County races, as no last minute filings occurred.

That means other open seats in key positions, including that of Atchison County Commissioner, will go unchallenged.

Incumbents have filed for reelection to the Commission, including 2nd District Commissioner Eric Noll and 3rd District Commissioner Casey Quinn.

Also filing to run unchallenged for reelection are other incumbent Republican candidates, including Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips, Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker, and County Treasurer Connie Ellerman.

Current Atchison County Register of Deeds, Shelley Campbell, did not seek another term, with that seat now sought by Blair Burton.
