County Chairman Neal Bennett was re-elected to a fourth term and the Pierce County Commission will have two new faces in the new term in January, 2027.

Those were the local results from last Tuesday’s General Primary Election. Bennett defeated local businessman Austin Boatright 95 votes to eke out a win. Bennett had 1,708 votes to Boatright’s 1,603 in a race that was tight throughout the night.

Bennett thanked voters for their confidence in him and for giving him another term.
