Fields narrowed for county offices
Gaskill will face Loren Garren in the November general election. Garren, 61, of Goodman, beat Scott Sanders for the Democratic nomination, 221 to 212.
In the race for Western District commissioner, Ronald Walker won the Republican nod and the right to take on Democratic incumbent Gayle Brock in November. Brock was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Walker captured 498 votes, compared with 237 and 162 votes for rivals Paul Gardner and Milton Wolf, respectively. Walker, 59, of Southwest City, is a cattle rancher who served two terms on the McDonald County School Board.
In the race for coroner, challenger Tracy Dowd beat incumbent B.J. Goodwin III for the Republican nomination. Dowd finished with 1,083 votes to Goodwin’s 950. Dowd will face Democratic nominee Doc Halverson, who was unopposed in Tuesday’s primary.
Dowd, 43, of Noel, is the co-owner of Walker Dowd Funeral Home and worked for the McDonald County coroner’s office for 10 years. Goodwin was appointed to the position of coroner in 2006 to fill out the term left by the retirement of Gale Duncan.
Also Tuesday, voters in Anderson approved a proposal to continue a 35-cent levy per $100 assessed valuation for another five years by a margin of 200 to 76. The measure needed a simple majority.
The property tax is for general revenue, and has been used to finance a variety of operations, including police and fire services, the city’s utility bills and street lighting.
A 35-cent tax levy translates to an annual tax of $66.50 on a home with a market value of $100,000.
By the numbers
There are a total of 12,674 registered voters in McDonald County, and 2,933 of them cast a ballot in Tuesday’s election, for a turnout of 23.14 percent.
