GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A veteran Hall County board chairman’s daughter is running for a county board seat of her own.

Shanell McCabe, daughter of chairman Scott Arnold, filed Tuesday for the District 6 Hall County board seat, which is currently held by Supervisor Gary Quandt.

McCabe and Quandt, both of whom are Republicans, will compete in the May primary election for a chance to run against Democrat Brian Whitecalf in the November general election.

McCabe said her father inspired her decision to run for office, but he didn’t encourage her to do so. She says her motivation is to get involved with the community and to represent the district.

The filing deadline to appear on the 2016 primary and general election ballots was Tuesday.
