MT. PLEASANT — Each county-level race in Henry County appearing on ballots uncontested resulted in expected outcomes such as Steve Detrick joining the Board of Supervisors and Robin Detrick taking on the role of Auditor in the new year.
Current Henry County Board of Supervisors Chair Greg Moeller chose not to run for re-election leaving a seat vacant for Steve Detrick to step into. Chad White will continue to serve on the board following a successful second run for the position.
While Steve Detrick and White appeared on the General Election ballot uncontested, that position only came to them after winning the Primary Election in June against Dan Cook and David Muhs.
Supervisor
Chad White (R) — 6,494
Steve Detrick (R) — 4,961
As expected, Robin Detrick will take over for outgoing Auditor Shelly Barber after running uncontested. Sheriff Rich McNamee will continue to serve as Henry County’s Sheriff, as well.
Auditor
Robin Detrick (R) — 7,760
County Sheriff
Rich McNamee (R) — 8,084
