GREEN RIVER — After two long months of campaigning following the August primary election, there will be some new faces occupying county and city offices next year.

Republicans swept all but two of the local and state races in yesterday’s election, which saw four-term Democratic State Senator John Hastert lose his seat to Republican Tom James, and Sheriff Mike Lowell fall to first-time Republican candidate John Grossnickle.

Two new county commissioners will also take office following the election, with incumbent Randall “Doc” Wendling retaining his seat for a second term.

In other notable races, incumbent Dave Divis held on to his County Assessor’s seat defeating Republican first-timer Perri Rubeck by a narrow 506 votes, and Democrat Dale Davis lost his re-election bid for County Clerk to newcomer Cindy Lane.

While canvassing still needs to take place before the vote counts are made official, here is the list of winners from yesterday’s election.
