There will be no contested race for Grundy County Clerk, Sheriff or Treasurer, but their will be a contested Republican primary for a county board district.
The incumbent sheriff, treasurer and clerk are running unopposed. Clerk Kay Olson, a Democrat and resident of Morris, Sheriff Ken Briley, a Republican and resident of Minooka, and Treasurer Todd Koehn, also a Republican and resident of Minooka, all filed petitions and have no primary challengers.
No one filed to run in the Republican primary for clerk or the Democrat primaries for sheriff and treasurer.
Due to redistricting, all 18 seats county board seats in the three board districts are up for reelection. But after the last day to file petitions passed Monday, the only contested election will be for Grundy County Board District 2.
