And then there were five...

candidates for District 1 county commissioner, that is. 

County Clerk Cliff Hayes' office announced Greg Wells has withdrawn his candidacy for County Commissioner District 1.

The remaining candidates who will appear on the May 15 primary ballot for this seat are:

• Gerald Arno
•  Marc Eberlein
•  Tim Herzog
•  Bruce Noble
•  Todd Tondee (incumbent)

March 30 is the deadline for withdrawal for any race in the May 15 election.

There were seven candidates originally announced by the clerk's office for the District 1 commissioner's seat. Another candidate, Steven Benner, was eliminated from the ballot because he does not reside in that district.
