Only Central Committee Races for Stark Voters to Vote on Come August

CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – The long-awaited Second Primary Election promises to be a very slow day at the polls.

The only candidate races Stark County voters have a choice in is for State Central Committee, according to the Stark County Board of Elections.

There’s no opposition in the two Senate districts that include Stark County.

The same goes for the four House districts.

In fact, barring appearances by Independent candidates, Senator Kirk Schuring in the new 29th district and 31st District SSenator Al Landis and Representative Reggie Stotzfus in the 50th district and Brett Hillyer in the 51st have, in effect, already been re-elected.

They have no competition in November either.
