The two men running to become Lewis and Clark County’s second justice of the peace are both first-time candidates, but each has long experience serving the public.
In November 2018, the Lewis and Clark County Commission voted to create a second justice of the peace position, to help address a growing workload for the court. Mark Piskolich and David Rau were the only two candidates who officially filed for the position, so they both moved on to the general election after an uncontested primary.
