(KTNC) - Missouri voters will go to the polls for Municipal Elections on Tuesday. There are several local races that will be decided in Holt County.
Two towns have contested mayoral races. In Craig, Rhonda Hunziger and Mitchell Longcor are vying for the position, and Mark Russell and Ed Dearmont are seeking to become Mayor in Maitland.
There are a couple of other contested races in the county. In Mound City, Angela Atkins and Kristine Gibson are running for North Ward Alderman. Gibson is the incumbent. Dale Grasty and Ralph G. Long are running for North Ward Alderman in Maitland.
Other elected city offices in the county are uncontested.
There are a few school board races that will be decided in Holt County Tuesday.
In Mound City, four candidates are running for two positions – Robert Gibson, Mitchell Corbin, Matthew S. Steins, and Corey A. Olauson.
There are also four candidates for two positions on the South Holt School Board – Rich Mendenhall, Terry Anderson, Chad Coleman, and William Barton.
In the Craig R-3 School District, Gloria Hinrichs and Robert Liles are the only candidates on the ballot for two three-year seats, while John Dougherty and Dean Biermann are seeking to fill a one-year vacancy.
Several communities also have propositions on the ballot, seeking special levies.
Mound City is asking voters to approve a four-year 30-cent per $100 valuation increase for street light purposes. The Village of Big Lake is also seeking a four-year 30-cent levy for general pumping and dredging expenses.
Voters in Maitland are being asked to approve two propositions. One is a 24-cent levy for general operations and street improvements and repairs. That would extend a measure approved in 2005 for another four years. Maitland is also asking voters to approve the appointment by Aldermen of the Holt County Collector for the collection of taxes.
Another measure is on the ballot for residents of the South Union Township, where the Special Road District is seeking an additional 35-cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the next four years.
