CONWAY — It’s "make up your mind" time, Part 1 — that means it's Primary Day next Tuesday, when Granite Staters will head to polls to cast their ballots in the primary election. While there are no locally contested state representative races, there are a few county, state and national races to be decided Sept. 8.
There is a contested race among the GOP to be the District 1 Executive Council nominee between Joe Kenney of Wakefield and Kim Strathdee of Lincoln. Strathdee and Kenney vied in the 2018 primary, with Kenney garnering close to 80 percent of the vote (14,758-3,875).
