You may be thinking—didn't we just have a primary? That was the presidential primary in March.
This June primary election includes all other offices depending on where you live, including a county commissioner seat and a state senate seat.
All of us will have a US representative race to decide, a CU Regent, a State House Rep, and a District Attorney.
The congressional seats in southern Colorado are expected to get much attention this election.
Bent County is in Congressional District 4 -which is open after Congressman Ken Buck left his position in March.
Six Republicans and three Democrats are hoping to replace him.
