York County Commissioner Andy Bowman ultimately retains seat after winning Republican Primary

​YORK – York County District 3 Commissioner Andy Bowman received more votes than candidate Willard Peterson during Tuesday’s Primary Election – which ultimately means Bowman will retain his county board seat.
As there are no other candidates seeking the commissioner seat, from other political parties, Bowman’s name will be the only one on the General Election ballot in the fall.
Bowman received 428 votes while Peterson received 164 votes.
Commissioner Bowman was appointed in May of 2024 to fill Stan Boehr’s vacancy after Boehr’s unexpected death.
Since taking office, he has served on the Blue Valley Community Action Board, as a liaison to the weed department, as one of the liaisons for the roads department, as a liaison to the veterans service office, and as a member of the county’s insurance, handbook and safety/security committees. He also serves as vice-chairman for the board of equalization. Bowman is also a member of the York County Historical Association Board of Directors and he has served on the York County 4-H Board.
He and his wife live and farm northeast of Bradshaw, along with their five children.
