Boyd and Tater pull top Sheridan votes for County Gov. Study Commission

Tom “Tater” Broksle was bouncing along a potato field in the cab of his tractor in October when he announced the end of his candidacy. 

Broksle, whose brother’s nickname is “spud,” said he was worried not enough candidates would step up to serve on the local government review study commission set to examine how Madison County operates. But right now no longer feels like the right moment to volunteer his time, explained Broksle, so even though his name will still appear on the ballot, he’s dropping out of the race. 

And in Sheridan, 449 voters backed Tater. Rhonda Boyd pulled the most votes from Sheridan with 498. 

Dustin Tetrault also did well among Sheridan voters with 421.
