Central Illinois county local government races include a handful in Shelby County. 

There are seven total races in county government, including six on the county board. 

For County Treasurer, Republican Incumbent Erica Firnhaber taking in Democrat challenger James Caputo. 

On the County Board, each contested race allows the top two vote-getters to take the seat. District Two features two Democrats; Rodney Stanfill and Christopher Boehm, as well as two Republicans, Mark Bennett and Clay Hardy, fighting for two seats. 

In District Four, Democrat Robert Simpson takes on Republicans Matt Kessler and Charles Davis Jr. 

For District Five, Republicans Brent Wallace and Annette Martin wish to hold off Democrat Kenneth Barr. 

While in District Eight, Democrat Mitchell Esslinger challenges Republicans Mitchell Shuff and Jeremy Williams.

District 10 features another three-candidate race. With Democrat Terry Metzger faces Republicans Tim Morse and Martha Firnhaber. 

Distirct Eleven has four candidates vying for two seats. Democrats Doris Chaney and Lynn Williams face off against Republicans Carol Cole and Julie Edwards.

There are also a couple propositions to consider. The Moweaqua Fire Protection District proposing a levy special tax for its Ambulance Service. A ‘Yes’ vote allows the district to levy a tax not to exceed .3 percent of the value of the property to provide an ambulance service. 

The other one on your ballot concerns the Sullivan School District and who may take a spot on the school board. A Yes vote means those elected in 2023 and later can reside outside of the district, and that not more than three members on the board may be selected from one township within the school district.
