Chris Slusser

Chris Slusser, Madison County treasurer, defeated County Board Chairman Kurt Prenzler after a contentious campaign.

Kurt Prenzler says he “reconsidered” his opinion on the issue of accepting campaign donations from donors, an issue that has been hotly debated in the Republican primary race for Madison County Board chairman.

In recent months, both Republican campaigns have leveled sharp criticism at the other, including claims of incompetency, corruption, dishonesty and political “dirty tricks.”
