Copied from the State Election Commission's official candidate export (candidates with status Active). Party nominees were chosen in the June 9 primary and June 23 runoff. Party labels: R = Republican, D = Democratic, L = Libertarian; school, soil and water, watershed and fire district races are nonpartisan. Where a nonpartisan board elects several members at once, the number of seats is not in the export; check your sample ballot. State House, State Senate and solicitor races are on the state page.
