Results: Adair County 2006 Primary Election The night's big winners: Republicans Ann Melton, Ralph Curry, Sheila Blair, William "Bug" Knight, Roger Stephens, Kelly Hamlett, Sammy Baker, Billy Dean Coffey, and Terry Hadley; Democrats Wid Harris, Tony Loy, Jeff Hatcher, and Rick Wilson. Michael Loy wins over half of Adair County's vote to win a run-off slot for 29th District Judge. (Note: Because of a reporting error, the results for the Second District Republican Magistrate race, in earlier reports, did not list Kelly Hamlett as the winner.) By Ed Waggener ed@epwbooks.com Ann Melton is the first woman ever to be nominated for Adair County Judge Executive. She did so today with 53 per cent of the vote in the four-way Republican field, beating her nearest challenger and the only male in the race, Sammy Taylor, by an over 2-to-1 margin. Michael Loy gets over 50% of Judicial vote in Adair, will oppose Raymond Overstreet in General Election Michael Loy, Columbia, running for the 29th District Judgeship, got 2,639 votes in Adair County, to reach the run-off against Raymond Overstreet, Liberty. Overstreet, the only Casey Countian in the race, won heavily there, to top Loy's total in both counties by 98 votes. Adair Countian Judy Vance receives total of 2,461 total votes, finishes third Judy Vance, Columbia, received 1,468 in Adair County and 993 votes in Casey for a third place total of 2,461. Loy backers feel that they have an edge in the fall election, with a believe that Loy will receive more of the Vance votes in the fall than will Overstreet. Ralph Curry makes come-back Other closely watched contests included the Republican Sheriff's race, in which former Sheriff Ralp Curry beat Mendell Sexton for the right to face Sheriff Steve Cheatham in the fall. Sheila Blair will be next county court clerk Deputy Adair County Clerk Sheila Blair will be the next Adair County Clerk by virtue of her primary win over Dale Smith. She faces no Democratic opposition. Jailer gets top vote of night Adair County Jailer William Knight was the top vote getter of the night, with 2, 962, easily defeating primary challenger Ed Harvey, who received 793. Knight has no Democratic challenger in the fall. Roger Stephens widens vote to win re-election In the First District, incumbent Roger Stephens widened his margin over his nearest challenger, Charles Shepherd. Stephens has no Democratic opponent in the fall. Harris, Hamlett to face off in Second District in fall In the Second District, incumbent Wid Harris won the Democratic nomination over challenger Doug Campbell. He'll face Kelly Hamlett, Republican, who beat three other candidates. Democrat Tony Loy and Republican Sammy Baker win in Third In the Third District, incumbent Democrat Magistrate Tony Loy beat Greg Willis by 191 to 91 votes. Loy will face Republican Sammy Baker, who won the Republican primary over Buck Campbell, the runner-up, and Bill Spicer, who ran third. Billy Dean Coffey wins in crowded field; will face Democrat Jeff Hatcher In the Fifth District, incumbent Billy Dean Coffey won the Republican nomination. He face Democrat Jeff Hatcher, who defeated Robbin Redmon. Terry Hadley wins 8-way Seventh District race; will face Wesley Taylor In the Seventh District, Terry Hadley won in a field of eight. He'll face Democrat Wesley Taylor, who had no primary opposition. Tom Barlow win's Adair's vote handily In the only other race of significance, Democrat Tom Barlow easily won the three way race for Adair County's vote in the race for U.S. House of Representatives. If Barlow won district wide, he'll face Republican Ed Whitfield, who had no primary opposition. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY RACES County Judge Executive: Ann Melton 2,129. Sammy Taylor 1026.
