Two file in Webster Township

Both incumbents filed for re-election and will be unopposed in the March 13 township elections in Webster Township.

Township clerk Todd Elwood reported that incumbent Lawrence Valek had filed for another three-year term as supervisor, and Robert Michel, also an incumbent, filed for another two-year term as treasurer in the northern Rice County township. The filing deadline was Tuesday, Jan. 16, but the information was not available for last week's edition of The New Prague Times.
