Taking County Offices Out of Politics
Reno Gazette reports a proposed primary election law to remove county and township offices from party politics. The bill by State Senator Huskey would award only the top primary vote getter for each office to the general ballot, with no party designation, and streamline ballots to one side. Two nomination paths exist, via candidate payment or ten electors proposing a candidate. Huskey plans to introduce the bill early in the session.
