To prepare for the upcoming primary election, Wapakoneta High School held a public forum for two Republican candidates running for Auglaize County Commissioner to get their word out. Dave Bambauer and Steve Henderson discussed their policies on multiple county issues, including taxes, job expansion, and transportation services. This was the third debate the candidates had against each other. The two agree on many topics, especially on remodeling the county jail due to the opioid crisis.

A long-time Allen County employee is the first contender to file to become a county commissioner. Beth Seibert has filed her petitions to run for Allen County commissioner. She has filed to run for the position that Jay Begg has filled, which starts January 3, 2021. Seibert has worked for the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District for over three decades. She has been considering this move for two years but didn't think the opportunity would come just yet. She feels the position would be natural since she already works with many of the same people the commissioners work with.
