Randolph County coroner contest features Dashner and Ivanuck
In Randolph County the June 11 Democratic primary pits incumbent coroner Vernon Dashner of Red Bud Prairie du Rocher and Evansville against Steeleville dentist Dr M A Ivanuck in the only contested post.

Ivanuck, a Steeleville mayor and veteran of WWII and Korea, holds a dentistry degree and ran Steeleville for 12 years, saying the race will influence his mayoral plans and Democratic allegiance.
