Two incumbents and four challengers are vying for two seats on Marion County Commission in the only contested local races in Tuesday’s Republican primary.

No Democrats have filed, but one independent, Tom Britain in the 3rd District, will appear on the general election ballot in November.

During in-depth interviews with each primary candidate, news editor David Colburn asked about county issues and candidate credentials. All except Amy Soyez, who had a conflict, were interviewed in person. She answered by email.
