The City of Clarendon will be the only local government to hold a competitive election this spring, but all other local governments did receive enough candidates to fill upcoming positions before the sign-up period closed last Friday, February 27.
Clarendon Mayor Larry Hicks is unopposed for re-election, incumbent Aldermen Doug Kidd and Sandy Skelton are both running for office again and will be joined on the ballot by Britton Hall.
The City of Howardwick will have an election to renew a local sales tax option in that city, but they will not have competitive races for elected office. Mayor Mike Rowland and Alderman Gail Leathers are signed up, and Brenda Hampton is signed up for the other alderman’s seat.
Clarendon ISD incumbents Wayne Hardin and Wes Hatley are returning to the school board, and Donley County Hospital Board directors Wayne Tubbs, Carey Wann, and Melinda McAnear are returning to their positions.
Hedley ISD has Dana Bell returning to its board, and recently appointed trustee Carole Ward has also signed up to stay in her position.
The City of Hedley had three candidates sign up on the last day. Incumbent Aldermen Tonya Metcalf and Kathy Spier are returning and will be joined by Sally Griffin.
This year’s elections will be held on May 9. Local governments with uncontested races will cancel their elections.
