County clerks for Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties were busy Tuesday afternoon as several candidates turned in last-minute packets before the state's 4pm filing deadline for the August 2 primary. Below is a list of candidates who will appear on the primary ballot. (Note: Additional candidates might appear on the November ballot; independent/third-party candidates have until later this summer to file. For example, Green Party candidate Tom Mair tells The Ticker he plans to run against Rep. Christine Maxbauer for Grand Traverse County's District 2 commission seat.)
