School safety, mental health and a variety of local and national issues were on the table as Butler County Republican delegates met Saturday for a convention at the courthouse in Allison.
     Many of the local candidates up for election in the Republican primary in June are running without opposition from within the party. Candidates who spoke at the convention included state representative and Speaker of the House Linda Upmeyer, County Recorder Janice Jacobs and Treasurer Vicki Schoneman.
