ALGER COUNTY: County Commission Race Goes To The Wire

It was a fairly quiet night for Alger County elections on Tuesday, with many of the local offices having no contested races on the ballot.

However, there was one nailbiter for a seat on the Alger County Board of Commissioners.

In District Four, Democrat candidate Andy Sommer squeaked by independent Terry Pihlainen by four votes, 394-390. There was also a contested race for three seats on the Munising Public Schools Board of Education, with four people running for three seats, and that one also was an nailbiter.
