With five names on the ballot, the Ward 1 seat on the Great Bend City Council was by far the most crowded race in Barton County in the Primary Election. The list was narrowed down to two candidates following Tuesday’s results. Alan Moeder and Jessica Milsap advanced to the November General Election.

Moeder, the owner of his own business since 1982, said he was pleased with the results because he wants to bring more positivity to Great Bend.

The winner from the General Election will replace Vicki Berryman and join Dan Heath as Ward 1 representatives. Moeder and Milsap will be in one of three contested races for City Council in November.
