Comparable to voting and
serving on a jury, nothing is more important than running
for office and / or finding quality people to run for Govt
duty. 2024 is a presidential year election. Locally most all
County offices are up for the public's nod. Peturbed about
local leadership? Think they're dumber than a box of rocks?
Join the crowd readers.
For the May Primary, openings include both Magistrates, one Commissioner, Sheriff, County Clerk, Sch Bd Assessor, and Prosecutor
Magistrates Jeff Rider (District 2) and Jeff Boggs (District 1) are heading into retirement land. Contenders for Dist 2 Nicole Summers, Wesley Armes, and Frankie West. Running for the District One slot, Andy Bragg and Ryan Thomas.
Connie Kinder's Commission seat is up for a public nod. Kinder has not signed for another run but we think she will. Contender is Republicrat Duane Legg from down in Indore. Kinder's district is the Southern end of County Clay.
Republicrat Allen King is seeking another four years as Sheriff. Two time Sheriff Randy Holcomb is back on the ballot on Demorcrap side.
County Clerk has no takers so far but expect incumbent Sheila Stone to seek another four years of service.
Demo Teresa Davis has no challengers in the Assessor job. As a note: Assessors are the second highest paying slots on the ballot. Only the Prosecutor makes more.
Expect Prosecutor Jim Samples to get back on the ballot too.
School Boardsters David Pierson and Susan Bodkins are up for 2024. On two occasions Ms Bodkins has said, she ain't running again.
As of 10:30am Jan 24th, Pierson has re-upped. One time Sch Super, teacher, Kenneth Tanner is taking a stab at being a Boardsters. KT is in A district while Dave Pierson hails from B District.
Final day to sign up for office is this Saturday, Jan 27th. The Courthouse will be open til noon Saturday. You can mail in your election form as long as it is post marked before midnight Jan 27th.
Think county leadership is crappy? Think you could do a better job? Interested in a good paying job with full benefits and even better hospitalization insurance?
Now's you chance. The County needs all the help it can get.

As of 3pm today, we've got several more contenders for the May 2024 Election
Add to the above list:
Incumbent Sheila Stone Demorat signed up for a full term. So far she is the lone choice
Ditto for incumbent Commissioner Connie Kinder (Demorat). With Kinder now running, there is a race. Republirat Duane Legg signed up earlier this week.
Remember when Susan Bodkins told the world: I ain't running! Actually she said it twice during public meetings
Liar liar pants on fire!
In addition to incumbent Dave Pierson (B District) and Kenneth Tanner (A), Bodkins (C District) has thrown her hat into the ring. Newbees to the contest include Aaron Williams from A District and John Colemann also from A
Finally, Incumbent Assessor Teresa Davis Democrap) is now seeking another turn at the trough.
Something to note in the School Board race. Law allows just two reps from any one District. With the current make up of the Board, the final results may be affected.
We got a fun election developing.
Politics is everything in County Clay.
Here's an campaign flyer from 1940. Enjoy
