The City of Livingston, as well as Livingston, Big Sandy and Leggett ISDs will hold General Elections on Nov. 5 and filing for a place on the ballot – which began July 20 – ended Monday. However, those opting to run in the Nov. 5 election as a write-in candidate have until 5 p.m. Friday to file. The last day to register to vote in the Nov. 5 election will be Oct. 7. Early voting will begin on Oct. 21.
The City of Livingston will elect a mayor and two “at large” council members on Nov. 5. Judy Cochran presently serves as mayor. One of the “at large” council seats is presently held by Alan Cook. The other has been vacant since the resignation of Marion A. “Bid” Smith. Cochran filed for re-election to the mayor’s position. Joshua Grant also filed as a candidate to run for mayor. Cook filed for re-election to the city council. Others who filed as candidates for city council are Corey Dickerson, Jennifer Andjelic and Andy Evans. Four people vying for two “at large” council seats means that the top two vote-getters will be elected to the council.
Livingston ISD will elect three “at large” trustees on Nov. 5, seats presently held by Bea Ellis, John Allen Slocomb and Scott Paske. Ellis and Slocomb filed for re-election, but Paske did not. Others filing to run for the “at large” seats include Dustin Andreas, Steven Earl Grimm Jr., Christopher Moehlmann, Megan Murphy Rowe and Howard William Smith. Seven people vying for three “at-large” seats means that the top three vote-getters will be elected to the board.
Big Sandy ISD will elect four trustees in the election, the seats presently held by Mark Duff, Darrell Murphy, Zach Williford and Kabe Murphy. A call was placed to the Big Sandy ISD Administration Office Tuesday morning to find out if the incumbents had filed and if any challengers had filed. However, as of press time Tuesday evening, the call had not been returned.
Four “at large” seats will be on the ballot for Leggett ISD, those presently held by Curtis Jefferson, Robert Nowlin, Tommie Collins and Kevin Willson. As of press time Tuesday evening, the district had not been reached.
The Polk County Enterprise has a long-standing policy to run a one-time free announcement with photo in the newspaper for every candidate running for office, allowing the candidates to have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their vision to readers. The photo should be a large .jpg and the announcement should be typed in a Word document not to exceed 400 words. Both should be emailed to the editor ([email protected]) or may be brought into the office on a flash drive. The deadline to submit an announcement and photo is 5 p.m. Friday.
