Voters in Marshall County will be going to the polls next week on Tuesday, March 17th to vote in the General Primary Election. The polls will open at 6:00 a.m. and will remain open until 7:00 p.m. Voters in Marshall County who take the Republican ballot will have a few more choices to make compared to their counterparts who take the Democratic ballot. On the Republican ballot, there is only one local contested race, that being for Marshall County State’s Attorney where incumbent Paul Bauer is being opposed by Henry Attorney Donald Knuckey, Jr. Other contested races include for U.S. President where Donald Trump will receive little or no re-sistance from Republican challeng-

er Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente. Voters will also be asked to vote for delegates to the Republican Na-tional Nominating Convention. There are five candidates run-ning for the U.S. Senate with the winner to take on incumbent Sena-tor Dick Durbin in the November General Election. Darin LaHood is also running unopposed for a seat in the U.S. Congress from 18th Congressional District. He will have no opposition on the Demo-cratic side in November. In the race for the State Sena-tor, Win Stoller is unopposed as is Ryan Spain in his race for the General Assembly from the 73rd district. Neither will be opposed in the November General Election. Locally Gina (DeRubeis) Noe is unopposed in her bid for Marshall County Circuit Clerk as is David Lenz, Jr. for Marshall County Cor-
