Recent primary elections in Monroe County, Indiana, and various districts in Ohio have resulted in the selection of several judicial and administrative candidates, alongside the resolution of local fiscal referenda.

近期在印第安納州蒙羅縣及俄亥俄州各區舉行的初選中，已選出多位司法與行政候選人，並就當地財政全民公投達成結果。

In Monroe County, Indiana, the Democratic primary was characterized by the retention of established officials and the elevation of experienced personnel. Judy Sharp secured the Assessor's nomination with approximately 66% of the vote, while Tree Martin Lucas, a former clerk's office employee, attained the nomination for County Clerk with 47.8% of the vote. Conversely, the Clear Creek Township trustee incumbency was terminated, as Steven A. Hinds secured 42% of the vote to displace Thelma Kelley Jeffries. In Perry Township, Leon Gordon maintained his position with 61% of the vote. A significant number of other county offices remained uncontested during this cycle.

在印第安納州蒙羅縣，民主黨初選的特點是保留了既有官員並提拔經驗豐富的人員。Judy Sharp 以約 66% 的票數獲得估價官提名；而曾任書記處員工的 Tree Martin Lucas 則以 47.8% 的票數獲得縣書記提名。相反地，Clear Creek 鎮的信託人職位發生更替，Steven A. Hinds 以 42% 的票數取代了 Thelma Kelley Jeffries。在 Perry 鎮，Leon Gordon 以 61% 的票數留任。在本輪選舉中，許多其他縣級職位則無人競逐。

Within Ohio, judicial transitions are evident in both county and state-level contests. In Auglaize County, Zach Ferrall secured the Republican nomination for the Common Pleas Court with 51.5% of the vote, ensuring his advancement to the general election due to a lack of Democratic opposition. At the state level, former Judge Colleen O’Donnell emerged victorious from a four-candidate Republican field to contest the Ohio Supreme Court seat against Democratic Justice Jennifer Brunner. This contest occurs within a partisan framework established by 2022 legislative amendments. Should O’Donnell and incumbent Justice Dan Hawkins prevail in November, the court would achieve a 7-0 Republican composition.

在俄亥俄州，縣級與州級競選均顯見司法變動。在 Auglaize 縣，Zach Ferrall 以 51.5% 的票數獲得共和黨通用法庭提名，由於缺乏民主黨對手，確保其晉級至大選。在州級方面，前法官 Colleen O’Donnell 從四名共和黨候選人中勝出，將與民主黨法官 Jennifer Brunner 競爭俄亥俄州最高法院席位。此次競選是在 2022 年立法修正案建立的黨派框架下進行。若 O’Donnell 與現任法官 Dan Hawkins 在 11 月勝出，該法院將達成 7-0 的共和黨全佔組成。

Fiscal and regulatory measures in Auglaize County yielded mixed results. A proposed 2-mill replacement levy for Wapakoneta park facilities was rejected by 55% of voters. However, a 1% income tax renewal in Waynesfield-Goshen and a 1.05 mill levy for Minster schools were approved. Additionally, a measure permitting the Sunday sale of alcohol at a specific St. Marys establishment was ratified by 85.5% of the electorate.

Auglaize 縣的財政與監管措施結果不一。Wapakoneta 公園設施擬議的 2 毫釐替代徵稅被 55% 的選民否決。然而，Waynesfield-Goshen 的 1% 所得稅續期以及 Minster 學校的 1.05 毫釐徵稅則獲得通過。此外，一項允許 St. Marys 特定場所於週日銷售酒精飲料的措施，獲得了 85.5% 選民的認可。

The primary cycle has established the final candidates for the general elections and determined the viability of several local tax initiatives.

本次初選週期確定了大選的最終候選人，並決定了數項當地稅務倡議的可行性。
