Republican nominees Michelle Kaufusi and David Spencer claimed victory in their respective Utah County Commission races Tuesday, filling seats vacated by Commissioners Brandon Gordon and Amelia Powers Gardner, who chose not to seek reelection.

Republican Corey Astill defeated Forward Party candidate Russ Rampton to become the county’s next clerk. In the county auditor race, Gina Tanner defeated independent candidate Hans Andersen.

Continuity will remain in the county attorney and county sheriff positions, where Jeff Gray and Mike Smith, respectively, were reelected in uncontested races.

Kaufusi, who served two terms as Provo mayor, and Spencer, who served three terms on the Orem City Council, each won races a year after losing reelection bids in municipal races.

In the latest vote total released Tuesday night, Kaufusi led Democrat Jeanne Marie Bowen and Independent Jacob Oaks with 60.35% of the vote, and Spencer led Democrat J. Alllen and Foward Party candidate David Hinkcley with 55.13% of the vote.

Astill, who defeated incumbent Aaron Davidson in the Republican primaries, led Rampton with 67.14% of the vote, and Tanner was ahead of Andersen with 72.65% of the vote.

Elsewhere in the county, two positions on the Nebo School Board were up for grabs. Rick B. Ainge is poised to secure reelection in District 4 with 58.85% of the vote to Perry Ewell’s 41.15%. Scott Card will defeat Joseph Ernest in District 2, holding 63% of the vote. 

On the Provo School Board, Lisa Boyce, Melanie Hall, Megan Van Wagenen and Jennifer Partridge each ran unopposed and were reelected.

The Utah County Clerk’s office reported there were 104,818 ballots cast out of 374,878 registered voters, for a 28% voter turnout.
