The City of Clarendon will have an election this spring, but no other local governments have attracted enough candidates to hold elections as the filing deadline approaches next week.
Five people are now running for two full terms on the Clarendon City Council with incumbents Ashlee Estlack and Eulaine McIntosh facing challengers Jeremy Jeffers, Brittney Wolfe, and Richard Dzamko. As of Tuesday afternoon, no one had signed up to run for mayor or for either of the two unexpired terms on the council.
In Hedley, all three incumbent city aldermen have filed for re-election – Larry Ely, Tonya Gibson, and Jennifer Floyd.
Howardwick also has a full slate of candidates. Mayor Pro-tem Johnny Floyd has signed up to run for the vacant mayor’s position, while Alderman Jada Murray has filed to run again, and Matt Moore has also filed for the other available alderman’s position.
The Donley County Hospital District Board of Directors has two of three incumbents up this year running so far. Rose Lemley – Place One and Cindy Shelton – Place Three are seeking re-election.
Incumbent Michael Metcalf has filed for one of two positions on the Hedley CISD Board, but no one has filed for the three positions on the Clarendon CISD Board.
All local boards are elected at-large, but hospital board candidates must file for a specific place on the board. Candidate applications are available from the administrative offices of each entity.
Filing continues through Friday, February 14. Elections are scheduled to be held May 3, 2025.
