August Update

It does seem a bit odd that here in January we'd be talking about the August election, but It's time to start thinking about it.

Friday was the first day for candidates to pick up qualifying petitions and some wasted no time.

Both Tony Aikens and Doyle Arp picked up petitions to run for 21st District State Representative position being vacated by Jimmy Matlock. I understand from a good source that Aikens and Arp signed each other's petitions. Good to know they have such comradery for now. I'll have lots more info on this race when it gets closer to time.

Four county school board races will be on the August ballot and one incumbent already has a challenger. Kim Bridges looks to take on incumbent Leroy Tate in the 4th district. 2nd District incumbents William Jenkins and Bobby Johnson Jr. are yet unopposed.

With the passing of Ric Best and the temporary appointment of his wife, Melissa, to the 6th district seat, only one candidate has picked a petition for that seat. Aaron Lewis is the sole candidate for now.

You can see all the seats for the August election in the list below. I'm sure there will be more candidates for all the seats. Candidates have till April 5th to file petitions.

Also, at the bottom of the page, I have included the updated May election petition list. Not much change.
