Stimpson, Beery win GOP races - Krueckeberg gets nod

Decatur Daily Democrat:

With incumbent Republicans in three countywide offices — auditor, treasurer and recorder — sent to the sidelines at the end of the current year by state-mandated term limits, a trio of first-time GOP candidates picked up victories and earned their party's nominations during Tuesday's primary election balloting.

With County Recorder Connie Moser, a Republican, barred from seeking re-election, Deb Stimpson prevailed in a three-way GOP race to fill that pending vacancy. Stimpson, who is employed by the Decatur-Adams County Parks and Rec Department, captured 1,575 votes to edge out current Deputy Recorder Jim Voglewede, who claimed 1,406 votes. Berne Republican Jerry Walker finished third with 1,055.
