WHAT'S NEXT FOR GOP SUPERVISORS RACE?

WOODBURY COUNTY REPUBLICANS STILL DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHO WILL REPRESENT THE G-O-P IN THE DISTRICT FIVE COUNTY SUPERVISORS RACE.

BRIAN ASHLEY, WHO DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE ABOUT A MONTH AGO FOR HEALTH REASONS, WON THE PRIMARY BY OVER 250 VOTES AGAINST CITY COMMUNITY ACTIVIST JUDY DARWIN.

WOODBURY COUNTY REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN BRIAN ROSENER SAYS
ASHLEY IS THE PARTY'S NOMINEE AT THE MOMENT, AND WILL DECIDE IF  HE WANTS TO ACCEPT THE VOTERS DECISION:

IF ASHLEY DECLINES THE NOMINATION, ROSENER SAYS A COUNTY CONVENTION WOULD BE CALLED TO PICK A NEW CANDIDATE:

ASHLEY HASN'T RESPONDED TO KSCJ'S EFFORTS TO CONTACT HIM. THAT MEANS DEMOCRAT INCUMBENT LARRY CLAUSEN WILL HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE LONGER TO LEARN WHO HE WILL FACE IN NOVEMBER.
