Erickson polled especially well in the northwest areas of town, where he previously served as a stake president for the Rexburg Center Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Reeser won the precinct that cast their ballots in the Madison High School gymnasium, the same school where he teaches social studies classes.
Johnson, an incumbent, polled well across the town, with an especially high turnout in the southwest precincts.
