23 CANDIDATES have filed for Adair County Offices: An overview Races are already getting interesting, with everything from the Brothers Turner seeking Magisterial posts in two districts to a repeat cast from 2001 in the Sheriff's race, and it's just November 18, 2005. There's gender imbalance, but Republican women are doing their part. By Ed Waggener ed@Columbiamagazine.com Twenty-three candidates have filed for Adair County offices through Friday, November 18, 2005, according to Adair County Clerk Ann Melton. So far, 19 Republicans and 4 Democrats have filed. Four women, all Republicans, and 19 men, 4 Democrats and 19 Republicans, have filed. The latest to file is Ted Turner, who has filed for the Republican nomination for Magisrate, District 2. The seat is now held by Democrat Magistrate Wid Harris, who is a still weighing a run for judge executive. Ted Turner is the brother of Paul W. Turner, who lives in District 7, and who has filed for the Republican nomination for Magistrate there. So far as is known, if elected, the Brothers Turner would be the first siblings ever to sit as Magistrates on the Adair County Fiscal Court at the same time. Paul W. Turner faces opposition in the Republican primary from William "Bill" Corbin. One Democrat, Wesley Taylor, has filed for the office. The incumbent, Terry Farris, is at the moment the only Democrat to enter the County Judge's Race. In county-wide races, it stands like this:
COUNTY DISTRICT RACES First District Incumbent First District Magistrate Roger Stephens has filed for the Republican nomination. No one else has filed. No one has filed for Constable in this district. Second District The Magistrate's office in District 1 is now held by Wid Harris. As previously mentioned, there are only two who have filed for this office, Republicans Joe Kimbler and Ted Turner. No one has filed for the office of Constable in this district. Third District Donald "Buck" Campbell has filed for the Republican nomination for Third District Magistrate. Former Adair County Extension Agent Bill Spicer says that he will also file in the Republican primary. On the Democratic side, incumbent Tony Loy has not yet filed, but has said he intends to do so. Greg Willis has not filed, but says he will be a candidate. Fourth District Current Republican Party Chairman Perry Reeder has filed for the office of Fourth District Magistrate, an office now held by Democrat J.M. Shelley, who surprised everyone in 2001 by beating a popular Republican, Billy Neat, in a 3-to-1 Republican District. Mr. Shelley has not yet said what office he will seek: District Four Magistrate, Adair County Judge Executive, or State Representative from Adair and Taylor County. No one has filed for the office of Constable in this district. Fifth District The office of District 5 Magistrate now has four candidates. Billy Dean Coffey was appointed by Governor Fletcher to the office after Magistrate Junior Brown resigned to take a job with the Commonwealth. Jeff Hatcher is presently unopposed in the Democratic Primary. Mr. Coffey has filed, and has drawn opposition for the nomination from Jackie D. Cravens and Jerry M. Smith. No one has filed for the office of Constable in this district. Sixth District No one has yet filed, but popular Magistrate Joe Rogers, Democrat, has said he will be a candidate for re-election. Jason Rector has filed for the Republican nomination for Constable in this District. Mr. Rector is a Lieutenant in the Knifley Area Fire Department, a training officer in the Adair County Rescue Squad, is a FEMA certified instructor, works with the Adair County Red Cross Disaster Services, is Certified BLS and is First Responder Instructor. Seventh District As mentioned above, three candidates have filed: Republicans Paul W. Turner, Bill Corbin, and Democrat Wesley Taylor. Word from the Circle R early a.m. coffee drinkers is that former Magistrate Russell Guy Perkins has picked up papers at the courthouse and plans to file. No one has filed for the office of Constable in this district. Two school board Districts on the ballot in 2006 They have until the August filing deadline, and nobody has yet filed, but the offices of Member of the Adair County Board of Education will be on the November ballot. Board of Education District 1, now represented by Greg Willis, will be open, as will District 3, now held by Chris Watts. Mr. Watts is still weighing the race. No one has filed for Mayor, City Council Though they can file now, no one has become a candidate for any of the City of Columbia offices. The Mayor and all City Council seats will be on the ballot. The present Mayor, Pat Bell, is considered an impressively strong candidate should he choose to seek re-election. He's not yet saying for sure he'll run. The six incumbents are Larry Marshall, Joe Moore, Charles Grimsley, Craig Dean, Edwin Taylor, and June Parsons. Filings for county elections will continue through January 31, 2006, for those entering party primaries. For independents, City of Columbia offices, and Adair County School Board, there is an August 2006 deadline. Filings for these offices are made at the office of Adair County Court Clerk Ann Melton in the Adair County Courthouse Annex.
