Primary- County Board



Three candidates for the Third District seat on the Winona County Board of Commissioners were narrowed to a pair Tuesday in the primary election.
                
Steve Jacob received 503 votes and incumbent Mena Kaehler got 381votes.
295 votes were cast for Bruce Speltz.

Jacob says his win was a community effort and he's ready to represent the people.

Jacob founded the group Land Owners of Winona County, which opposed the county's land-use ordinance that was approved by the board in 2010.

Kaehler is finishing her first term in office and is currently the board chair.
