Outside of the presidential election, there isn’t much in the way of contested races in the eastern half of Henry County in the Nov. 5 election.

Near the top of the ballot, voters will make a choice between Democrats Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance in the race for president and vice president.

Just above the presidential contest are three “statewide advisory questions.” Here, voters will be asked if they support three propositions: one to prevent any candidate from interfering with an election worker’s official duties; one that would add a 3 percent tax on incomes greater than $1 million and use the proceeds to reduce property taxes; and a third that would require health insurers that cover pregnancy to also cover in vitro fertilization and other “assisted reproductive treatments.”

The outcomes of these votes would have no legal effect but would merely measure the voters’ views on the issues.

Elsewhere on the ballot, the only contest for Kewanee voters will be the race between incumbent Democrat Eric Sorensen and Republican Joe McGraw for congressman in the 17th District.

In the Annawan and Cambridge school districts, voters will be asked if they favor electing school board members at large rather than according to where they live in the district.

Voters who live in the western half of Henry County will find nine candidates — five Republicans and four Democrats — for five seats on the county board.

Candidates running unopposed include Darin LaHood for 16th District congressman, Li Arellano Jr. for state senator from the 37th District, Dan Swanson for state representative in the 71st district, Ryan Spain for 73d District representative and Travis Weaver for 93rd District state representative.

Henry County officials running unopposed, all Republicans, are David Doubles, Dale “Sarge” Stiles, Lynn Sutton, Shannon Burmann and Patrick Koa for county board; Terilyn Kuster Motley for circuit court clerk; Cathy Runty for state’s attorney; and Melissa Watkins for coroner.

Republican Amy Lannerd is running unopposed for Fourth Circuit judge, and Republican Gene Doherty has no opponent in his race for appellate court judge.

There is no candidate to fill the unexpired two-year term as regional school superintendent for Henry, Bureau and Stark counties.
