Butler County’s turnout for primaries spans young and old
Butler County residents practiced their constitutional right to vote for local and statewide candidates in the primary election on Tuesday, May 16. Winners will advance to the Nov. 7 general election.
Nino Welsh, 18, of Butler Township, said it was his second time voting. An aspiring state trooper, he said he was drawn by pro-police candidates.
Others, such as Worth Township resident Laura Mansfield and her husband of 55 years have been voting for decades, said they are invested in local representation of the township.
“I’ve noticed that with some of the candidates, they’re more concerned with Butler, not Butler County,” Shari Kreutz, Worth Township secretary, said.
