Two More

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.
