Voters across the Sioux Falls metro will have a mix of contested races and uncontested seats on their ballots this June — but in Harrisburg, a three-way contest is shaping up for two spots on the local school board.

There will be three candidates running for two positions on the five-member Harrisburg School Board in the June 2 election, offering voters a choice between a longtime incumbent and two challengers with ties to the fast-growing district.

Long time board member Mike Knutson, who has served for 12 years, will be running again along with two challengers, Jordan Twedt and Tara Young.
