Stella wins Iron County district attorney primary

HURLEY - It will be Anthony Stella facing Republican Matthew Tingstad in the Iron County District Attorney's race in November after Stella won Tuesday's Democratic primary.

Stella received 483 votes to Elaine Erickson's 251 votes in the race to represent the Democratic Party on the November ballot.

Tingstad, who was the lone Republican running to replace outgoing District Attorney Marty Lipske, received 230 votes.

The district attorney race was the lone contested county race on the ballot. The other county races all featured the current office holders running unopposed.

Clerk Michael Saari received 655 votes in his re-election bid, Treasurer Clara Maki received 645 votes in her bid to be elected to her first full term as treasurer - the Iron County Board of Supervisors appointed Maki to replace retiring Mark Beaupre, in June - and Register of Deeds Daniel Soine received 641 votes in his re-election bid.

All three ran as Democrats with no Republicans on the ballot.

Steven Wilkie, who represented the state's Green Party in a write-in campaign to face Saari in November, received 1 vote. This doesn't meet the 200-vote threshold required by the state to appear on November's ballot, according to Saari.
