Republican Party meeting turns up more certain, maybe candidates Some Republicans hope to avoid repeat of primary battle in sheriff's race, think emotions in primary hurt nominee in fall Ralph Curry offers his own outlook on the sheriff's race the the day after the meeting By Ed Waggener ed@columbiamagazine.com Several new candidates can be added to the list who plan to run in 2006, it was learned at the Republican Party meeting, Monday evening, October 17, 2006, at the Adair County Courthouse Annex. Candidates for county offices can file as early as November 9, 2005. Filing is then open until January 1, 2006. Added to our list of candidates are: Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin, who will seek re-election as Adair County Attorney in the Republican Primary, May 16, 2006. Republicans don't expect any opposition for her. Sammy Taylor, Grants Writer for the Adair County Board of Education, who will seek the Republican nomination for Adair County Judge. Adair County Court Clerk Ann Melton (R) was the first to announce announced she will be running for the office. Adair County Regional Jailer William "Bug" Knight, confirmed that he will be seeking re-election to that post. So far, no other potential candidates have been reported to ColumbiaMagazine.com, but Mr. Knight says he expects opposition. Adair County Deputy Court Clerk Sheila Watson will run to succeed Ann Melton, the incumbent. Dale McCloud says that he has not yet decided whether he will oppose Sheila Watson in the Republican Primary. Current District 7 Magistrate Kenny Farris (D) has not yet said whether he will seek the clerk's office, run for county judge, or seek re-election as magistrate. Republican Party Chairman Perry Reeder, the founder of Flat Woods Store and currently a salesman with Columbia Candy Co., will run in the May 16, 2006 primary for the District 4 Magisterial seat currently held by J.M. Shelley (D).Magistrate Shelley has not yet announced whether he will seek re-election, run for county judge, or run for the Adair-Taylor Kentucky House seat now held by Russ Mobley of Campbellsville. Billy Dean Coffey, District 5 Magistrate, said he will seek re-election. So far, he has no announced opposition, but he said that he's heard of other Republicans and one Democrat who may oppose him. He did not share the names. Buck Campbell said that he will be a candidate in the Republican primary District 3 Magisterial seat now held by Democrat Tony Loy. Greg Willis has said he will be a candidate in the primary opposing Mr. Loy, and Republican Bill Spicer, retired Extension Agent, is mentioned as a primary opponent for Mr. Campell. Roger Stephens, District 1 Magistrate, said that he will be seeking re-election. Others mentioned yesterday, outside the meeting were Ralph Curry (R) and Mendel Sexton (R) for sheriff. Republicans are hoping they run as a team this time. Their bitter primary in 2002 opened the way for Democrat Steve Cheatham to take the office for the first time in a half-century. Democrat C.D. Martin held the post in the 1950s, and since then, there had been a string of Republican sheriffs until Cheatham. "If they (Ralph Curry and Mendel Sexton) run against each other in the primary, we'll lose to Steve (Cheatham) again," one Republican leader said yesterday, but added, "if they run together, we'll beat him good." Ralph Curry, speaking a day after the meeting, disagreed. "I've been around the county," he said. "From what I've seen and heard, it's not going to take two people to beat Steve Cheatham."
