Lincoln County race narrowed to two

Mark Peck and Russ Bache came out on top in the Lincoln County primary elections for commissioner.

Meanwhile, Roby Bowe and Bill Clark now will go head to head for sheriff in the November election.

Incumbent Commissioner Tony Berget finished third in the three-way nonpartisan primary, ending his bid for re-election.

Lincoln County Justice of the Peace — the third contested race in the county’s primary elections — is now down to Jay Sheffield and Stormy Langston.

Voters decided to maintain Troy Area Dispatch District and increase their taxes in the process.

Nearly 63 percent voted to retain the 29-mill levy for the district.
