MILLARD- State Sen. Kathleen Kauth, and Millard Education Association President Tim Royers both say they've turned in more than the required number of signatures to appear on the ballot in November in the race for Millard's District 31 legislative seat.

Kauth was appointed to the Millard-area seat by Gov. Pete Ricketts in June after the passing of State Senator Rich Pahls.

In a statement, Kauth says she turned in 3,429 signatures to the Nebraska Election Commission. Millard Education Association President Tim Royers submitted 2,575 signatures to enter the race.

The required amount of signatures is 2,000. Considering both candidates turned in more than enough signatures, it is safe to presume both will be on the ballot in November.

"We could not have achieved this goal without the work of our incredible campaign team and dozens of volunteers," said Royers in a statement.

Kauth also thanked her volunteers saying, "I am both humbled and grateful for their committed support. Our volunteers include Republicans and Democrats, parents and students, and people from all walks of life who believe in my message of unity for Nebraskans."

Tim Royers ran for the seat in 2020, coming in second to Rich Pahls who Kathleen Kauth replaced.
