Both local political parties are looking for potential candidates interested in running for Donley County Tax Assessor / Collector after the lone candidate for the job withdrew.
Tammy Morrow, running as a Republican, had been the only candidate for the upcoming November election but withdrew from race for medical and personal reasons last month.
Filling Morrow’s spot on the ballot is the responsibility of Donley County Republican Party Chairman Bill Word; however, Morrow’s withdrawal also gives Donley County Democratic Chair Jean Taylor the opportunity to place a candidate for her party on the ballot as well.
The party chairs must name candidates by August 21, and Word has set a deadline of August 9 at 8 p.m. for expressions of interest from potential Republican candidates. Word can be reached at 806-277-0246.
Those interested in being a Democratic candidate for the office can call Taylor at 806-856-5961 or 806-677-4242.
The office is currently held by Linda Crump who plans to retire when her term expires at the end of this year.
