With only five days since candidates began picking up
petitions, it looks like the 2010 May primary is going to be a big
election. Twenty-six people have picked up petitions to seek seventeen
offices. Two more have now joined the fray. Loudon County School Board
member, Steve Harrleson, has picked a petition to run for sixth district
commission currently held by Wayne Gardin. Loudon City councilman, Mike
Cartwright, has picked to run for county court clerk. Cartwright makes a
total of five who may run for the open clerk seat.
With more than two months to the deadline, this
election could get real crowded. Often times though, some will pick up
petitions but never actually turn them in by the deadline. Keep an eye
on the fifth column in the form below titled "Date Petition Returned."
Usually any candidate who is seriously considering a run for office will
return their completed petitions pretty quickly.
At some point in the near future, we will be taking a
closer look at the candidates who file. Till then I will keep you posted
on any new additions.
