There weren’t many contested races during Tuesday’s Quay County primaries. The ones that were, weren’t all that close.
Incumbents Franklin McCasland and Timothy O’Quinn scored easy victories in their Republican primary races. Neither winner faces general election opposition.
McCasland took the primary nod for Quay County Commission District 3 with 563 votes to Bryan Rinestine’s 399. Quinn took the magistrate judge nomination with 588 votes, more than Paula Chacon (220) and Patricia Lopez (171) combined.
All votes are considered unofficial until canvassed by the county on Friday.
There will be a general election race for sheriff, as Russell Shafer and Reyes Gonzales took the Republican and Democratic nominations, respectively.
Janie Hoffman, running for county assessor, and Nelda Burson, running for probate judge, ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.
