There are three locally contested races in the August 2 Primary Election in Russell County.

Incumbent Republican Troy Waymaster will face Republican Noah Erichsen for the Kansas House of Representatives District 109 seat, which includes Russell County. There is no Democrat in the race, but Libertarian Peter Solie is running in the November General Election.

Republican Aaron Steinert will face Republican Crystal Miner for District Magistrate Judge District 20 Position 3. The position is currently held by Democrat Andrea Cross. She is running for reelection and unopposed in the Primary.

And incumbent Republican Steve Reinhardt will face Republican Dean Haselhorst for Russell County Commissioner District 1. There is no Democrat running, so the winner of the Primary will be unopposed in November's General Election.

KRSL News reached out to each of the candidates in these contested races and requested they each fill out a questionnaire with responses to basic questions about them, why they're running and their goals if elected.
