GET ME REWRITE: Ottawa Impact Looney Tunes show leads to biggest influx of county commission candidates in 2 decades

Headline:  Fox17, 4/24/2024

A lot of candidates are running for the first time. Many have expressed frustrations with the current board majority, which aligns with the conservative advocacy group Ottawa Impact.  {GET ME REWRITE:  "Incompetence is Our Default") 

"We've seen Democratic candidates file in every race, and we've seen a number of Republican candidates also filing in every seat. And so that's more significant in terms of what we've seen over the past 25 years here," Roebuck said. 

The August primary has a different setup compared to the November general. 

"So, you can vote in one partisan column, but not in both. So, essentially, you can pick whichever party you would like. But you have to stay within that party column for the remainder of the ballot," Roebuck added.
