Candidate deadline now passed, Sauder and Thomas not seeking re-election to respective positions; No primary election ne

The ballots are now set for the 2025 election cycle and no primary will be needed according to Lyon County Election Officer Amie Jones.

Following the passing of the candidate filing and withdrawal deadline at noon Monday the following ballots are now set in stone. For the Emporia City Commission race, candidates include incumbent Tyler Curtis and hopefuls Monica Duncan, Tammi Ogle, Aaron Larson, Denise Gilligan, Don Loux, Kurt Steinkuhler and Travis Hitt who filed just before the deadline.

KVOE News reached out to Hitt for comment on his filing.

Not on the ballot this year is Emporia City Commissioner Jamie Sauder. He tells KVOE News his service on the commission “has been an incredible honor,” but it has also taken a toll on him away from his work on the board.
