Voters Head To The Polls Tuesday To Decide County Officials, Prop A

Voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide primaries in Crawford and Franklin counties. Voters will also help decide the fate of right-to-work in the state of Missouri with Prop A. Voting 'yes' for Prop A is a vote to adopt right-to-work, which prohibits as a condition of employment the forced membership in a labor organization, as passed by Senate Bill 19. Voting 'no' is a rejection of Senate Bill 19.

In Franklin County, there are five races involving judge, presiding commissioner, clerk, prosecuting attorney and collector.

In the race for judge, Gael Wood will face David Arand. 

Trish Mitchell, Tim Brinker and Jonathan Zimmermann are vying for presiding commissioner. Brinker is the current interim presiding commissioner.
