Livingston and Kaschke advance to the general election, where they will face off.

Livingston was pleasantly surprised.

"I feel pretty good," Livingston said. "I didn't know how I'd do when I entered the race. I thought I'd do okay. I've had a lot of support from friends and family."

Kaschke spent the evening presiding over the city council hearing about a cell phone tower in an historic part of town.

In the race for county commissioner, Joe Hewgley easily defeated Bob Peterson to retain the seat he has held for 26 years. Hewgley will be unopposed in the general election in November.

In the race for the Ward 1 seat on the city council, only 14 votes separated the second and third place candidates. Unofficially, Josh Welden won the race. Brook Baker narrowly eliminated Josh Catlett.

In Sutherland, voters resoundingly said no to a village sales tax that would have raised money for economic development.
