In Fine, GOP voters will choose from Tracy Typhair and Dean E. Kerr to fill out the remaining two years of Superintendent of Highways Roger Folsom’s term.

Fowler Republicans are choosing two council candidates from among incumbent Karen M. Simmons and James Joseph McGregor and Dustin Fayette, and between incumbent Michael A. Sweeney and Randy L. Durham for the superintendent of highways nomination.

In Hammond, incumbent Town Clerk Pamela Burton, who was appointed to replace Darlene Amyot, is running against Cathleen Tulley for the Republican nomination to finish the two years left in Amyot’s term. Both Burton and Tulley are also running in a Conservative Party primary.

Morristown Republicans are choosing two town council nominees from among incumbents Gary B. Turner and David S. VanArnam and challengers Mark R. Taylor and Gary P. Premo.
