Primary to preview race for county district one seat
In Finney County primary voters will choose between two candidates for the district one seat. The general election on November 7 will feature Democrat Cletus Feldt against the winner. The high profile issue is the US Highway 50 West expansion with costs now estimated at 80 million dollars. Local officials say the project would run 8.4 miles from Third Street in Garden City to IBP Road with a required local match of 3.8 million. Candidates debate whether to cancel or rework the plan if costs cannot be trimmed. Roman Halbur seeks re election unopposed in District One.

Dixon welcomes AFP support in primary race
The article notes Dixon appreciating AFP flyers while emphasizing tax restraint and the need to scrutinize tax increases. He says endorsements aren’t votes and plans to review proposed tax measures closely, noting the primary election is Tuesday with Dixon or Whitham expected to win the seat as no Democratic challenger exists.
