Sanborn, Nyquist Rematch for State Senate
Sen. Andy Sanborn and Lee Nyquist will wage another policy battle for District 9, while 12 Republicans file for six seats in the 7th.

The state filing period closed at 5 p.m. Friday, but the Republican and Democratic parties have until June 18 to fill vacancies on party tickets.
Below is a look at the candidates filing for local seats, according to the Secretary of State's website updated June 13 (some last-minute filings may not be reflected in the state's report just yet, and will be updated Monday; incumbents' names are in bold):
