Ballot Order Selected for County Primary Races
Kendall County Board Candidates John Shaw (District 1) and Scott Gryder (District 2) will top the March 20 ballot after a lottery Tuesday morning.
County board candidate Jeremy Swanson (District 2) and Keith R. Wheeler (District 1) each have the distinction of being the last candidates in their respective Republican primaries to file petitions Monday.
That means they will be listed last on the ballot in their races.
The petition filing order largely determines the order candidates are listed on the ballot, so a lottery was held at 9 a.m. Tuesday to determine the order for candidates who filed right at the beginning of the filing period.

For the Democrats, three candidates are running in District 2 and one in District 1, so all four are guaranteed spots on the November ballot.
