However, no candidate announced a campaign against Somers by the candidate filing deadline, and he was re-elected unopposed. [2] Though several elected Republicans in the county were interested in running for County Executive in the future, the chairwoman of the county Republican Party said that "[t]here wasn't anybody who wanted to run" against Somers in his bid for a second term. [3]

Somers ultimately received 93 percent of the vote in the primary election, [4] and 94 percent in the general election. [5]
