As the August 24th primary approaches we want to make certain that all voters keys-wide know who the Democrats are running in our Monroe County races. Below are links to those who have websites where you can learn more about them.

In addition to the local races below there will also be a primary for the Democratic candidate for the major statewide offices of Governor, Attorney General, and U.S. Senator. Please visit our Meet The Candidates page where you will also find more information on these offices as well as links to the websites of the individual candidates!

There is also an important referendum on this ballot on whether the Monroe County Superintendent of Schools should continue to be an elected position or one appointed by the School Board of Directors from among qualified applicants.
