In the race for a partial-term seat on the Augusta Township Board of Trustees, Susan Burek won the Democratic nomination with 40.4 percent of the vote over Kathleen Jackson, 32 percent, and Judy Thornton, 27.1 percent.

Brian Shelby won the Republican nod, running unopposed in the primary with 99 percent of the vote.
