Summary
Douglas County’s District One commissioner race is heating up as Democrat Patrick Kelly and challenger Milton Scott battle it out in a winner-takes-all primary. Both candidates agree on tax relief and opposing big industrial projects like data centers, but their paths differ: Kelly, a seasoned educator and commissioner, champions smart budgeting and protecting the Wakarusa River Valley, while Scott, a criminal justice and housing expert, pushes for automatic tax cuts tied to county surpluses and calls for urgent mental health and homelessness solutions. With no general election opposition, this primary could shape the future of county governance — and voters are weighing experience, values, and vision.
