Texas Sen. Ted Cruz received the most votes Saturday from Ellsworth County Republicans; however, it was two local candidates who grabbed the spotlight during the party’s presidential caucus at the Ellsworth County Courthouse. Ellsworth County commission chairman Kermit Rush and county attorney Joe Shepack both announced their intentions to seek re-election. Rush’s decision was especially surprising because he announced months ago this would be his final term.
