Election Update: Quick Look at Who Has Pulled Papers

In what has been a rather unusually slow start to the November 2018 election season, several local races are starting to become more clear of who is seeking office.

In speaking to several city clerks around the county, they have commented at how “slow” this season has been with regards to candidates pulling papers and filing after the filing period opened on July 16 and will run through August 10–if an incumbent does not file, that particular race is open another week until August 15.

Here is a snap shot at some of the local races as of Thursday afternoon:
