Valley City  (CSi)  Tonya Duffy, and Lilie Schoenack are vying  for the position of Barnes County State’s Attorney, on  the November 5 election ballot.

Tonya Duffy

Duffy’s name wasn’t on the June Primary/Election ballot, however the North Dakota Century Code indicates that, if a vacancy is created in the position after the regular primary filing deadlines the individual may file a petition with the required amount of signatures by the General Election filing date and get their name on the ballot.

 

Lilie Schoenack

Duffy will face Lilie Schoenack, the present Valley City Attorney, in the November elections.

The Barnes County State’s Attorney’s position became open when Barnes County State’s Attorney Carl Martineck decided not to run for re-election.

Martineck will become the next Valley City Attorney for Valley City at the end of 2018.
