Down the Ballot: Clay County Officials

I have lived in Clay county for 19 years and I still don’t know what it means to be an Eastern or Western Commissioner. Do I vote for just one of the positions, or both? Is the country divided into two, and if so, which portion am I in?

Overall, I think these county offices are the hardest to get information on or make decisions. For those who depend on the online search, many of these candidates are not using this means of information. So I am just listing links without comments. I am still deciding on these.
