Augusta Township Treasurer Susan Burek is mounting a write-in campaign after narrowly losing her primary battle.

Lynda Dew, who aligns with the opposition to Burek's voting block on the board, defeated Burek 315-312 votes.

Nevel Overton Slack is the Republican candidate for the treasurer's office.

"I believe because of the extremely light turn-out, a three-vote difference is not showing any clear choice from the voters," Burek said. "Many people I have spoken to since did not understand the importance of voting at the primary. Judging by the overwhelming positive response I am getting from the residents during my campaign, I am glad I have continued the race."

Residents will have to write in Burek's name in a blank space next to a blank bubble on the ballot.

Burek is part of the current voting block of Trustee Bill Tobler, Clerk Kathy Giszczak and Trustee Brian Shelby.
