Election 2014 warming up
|
March 12, 2014 |
The filing period for candidates for elected
office who'll be running in the May 20 primary
election opened March 3, and election 2014 at
the local level is already shaping up to be
interesting.
Both incumbent Republican county commissioners
are facing challengers in the primary, with
District 1 commissioner LeAlan Pinkerton facing
a challenge from Jeannie Robinson and District 2
county commissioner Walt Kirby being challenged
by Stanley "Philip" Sweet.
Deputy treasurer Susan M. "Sue" Larson, who
threw her hat in after incumbent Jenny Fessler's
announcement that she is retiring, will face
Becky James on the Republican ticket.
As yet, neither clerk Glenda Poston nor assessor
David Ryals face either a primary or general
challenge.
Thus far, none of the precinct committeeman
positions in either party are challenged;
candidacy petitions for the Republican Central
Committee have been filed by Robert D. Pluid,
Moyie Springs, Linda Alt, Valley View, Dave
Kramer, Naples and Tim Dillin, Copeland;
petitions to serve on the Democratic Central
Committee have been filed to date by Greg
Johnson, North Bonners Ferry, Della Owens, Moyie
Springs, and Stephen Howlett, Naples.
The deadline for candidates for elective office
in Idaho wishing their name to appear on the
primary ballot is 5 p.m. this Friday, March 14.
Those who wish to run write-in campaigns have
until April 4. |
