A couple of late filings in the closing days have ensured the summer election season will be active in Platte County.

Republican party primaries will be needed in August for two positions. Incumbent Kathy Dusenbery, incumbent county commissioner for district one, will be challenged by Beverlee J. Roper of Weatherby Lake, who filed Tuesday, the final day for doing so.
