Scott County Primary Results

The ballot is now set for November for three seats on the Scott County board.

Tuesday, Republicans chose incumbent John Maxwell from Donahue, Ross Paustian from Walcott, and Jean Dickson from Bettendorf to be their nominees for supervisor. And they'll face Democrats Jazmin Newton and Joseph Miller from Davenport, and incumbent supervisor Brinson Kinzer from Blue Grass.

Current State Representative Ross Paustian won the most votes from Republicans, and Jazmin Newton won the most votes from Democratic voters.

In State Senate District 41, Kerry Gruenhagen from Walcott won the Republican primary over Alan Weets, and Democrats chose Deb VanderGaast from Tipton for the November ballot over Nicole Tutton.

In State Senate District 47, Republicans chose Scott Webster from Bettendorf over Barry Long.

In State Representative District 81, Luana Stoltenberg of Davenport won the Republican primary and beat Sean Hanley.

Just a few residents of Scott County voted early, absentee, or at the polls yesterday. Turnout was 12 percent or nearly 16 thousand of the more than 130 thousand voters.

After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
