The filing period ended yesterday for local and state candidates running in this year’s election. And as the filing period ended, there were no last-minute surprise filings ahead of the June 28th primary in Illinois.

Among the four Wabash County offices on this year’s ballot, there’ll be only one contested race on November 8th and that’s for treasurer where long-time treasurer Beverly McBride is retiring and not seeking another term. Angela Broster has filed to run as a Republican and her opponent will be democrat Amy Conrad. The other incumbents will see no competition as sheriff Derek Morgan, county clerk Janet Will, and county commissioner Rob Dean will have clear sailing to new terms. 

And speaking of the election, Will is again reminding voters that they should have recently received a new voter ID card. The new card was necessary because of redistricting that took place after the 2020 Census. Will advises voters to contact her office if they didn’t receive a new ID card since that could be a sign something is wrong with their registration.
