Becker County incumbent Commissioner Ben Grimsley came in first in the Becker County Board race for District 2, with challenger David Meyer coming in a solid second. And Craig Hall and Erica Jepson advanced in race for District 1 Becker County Board seat.
Direct voting is now open at the Becker County Courthouse, which allows voters to feed their ballot directly into secure counting machines – just like at the polling places on election day.
“My other priority will be the current issue of high employee turnover,” he added in an interview. “It’s very simple – treat them the way you’d want to be treated. You have to work with them. You can’t treat them like they’re not part of the team, and that’s exactly what’s happening.”
Tim Clements of rural Osage, Erica Jepson of rural Frazee and Craig Hall of rural Rochert have filed in the District 1 commissioners race, a large district which includes the whole eastern half of Becker County.
Grimsley filed for election on May 17, as did Steven D. Walz and Darin Halvorson. David Meyer filed May 18.
