Few filings

With just 26 days to go, there haven't been many people file for elected office in Cowley County.

The official list of candidates thus far, according to clerk Karen Brooks.

karen brooks - county clerk
kathy foust - county treasurer
nancy horst - register of deeds

don read and randy emerson for sheriff (both republicans)

gary wilson county commission district 2, democrat
carmelita clarkson county commission district 3, democrat
john mars, county commission district 3, democrat

only 7 people have filed for 50 township seats

jim pringle and nick st. peter have filed for reelection to their district judge positions

NOBODY has filed for the state Legislature in Cowley County, according to the Sec. of State Web site This seems weird since Sen. Greta Goodwin announced Feb. 5 that she would seek another term. Pretty sure Ed Trimmer will run again.

Steve Abrams announced he plans to run again for state education board, but he also has not filed yet.

The deadline is June 10.

Anyone interested in getting Ark City and Cowley County on track with some vision for the future other than metaphorical government?

Candidates welcome.

Send me an e-mail response or call 741-1130.

Perhaps there is help to get elected.

Having been through two campaigns for my husband there is no way I would subject myself to the mud slinging anybody who runs gets thrown at them.
