Jones wins County Judge race

Hand counting for the Republican primary election day returns went on until the early morning hours, but County Judge Daniel Jones comfortably held on to his office with a more than 2-to-1 margin over challenger Esther Schneider.

Former State Representative Kyle Biedermann unseated GOP County Chairman Bruce Campbell for that position.

Results below include both machine counted early vote totals and the Tuesday night election day hand count. All results are unofficial until canvassed.

There were no contested races in the Democratic primary, but County Chair Cathy Collier said the party recorded 1,375 votes, roughly double what it recorded in the 2024 primaries.
