May primary races stir in Dawson County
The May 3 Democratic Primary in Dawson County draws scant interest with three candidates in precinct one and four in precinct three. A runoff seems likely in both, while the Tax Assessor-Collectors race remains unusually quiet as candidates await the final two weeks. Local campaigning and personal voter contact are urged as door to door efforts, shoe leather campaigning, and active vote seeking drive results.
