Candidates continue filing as deadline approaches

Another candidate has now officially drawn an opponent, with District Clerk Delia Sellers receiving a challenge from Miranda Litton Hulvey for that seat.

Republicans control every elected position in the county, except for Justice of the Peace Pct. 2, which 10 time Democrat incumbent Ronnie Davis currently holds. Now Pam Smith has filed to run for that position as a Republican in the upcoming primary. Any candidate interest
