With the deadline for filing to run in the May primary election a little more than 24 hours away (Tuesday at 4 p.m.), I thought I would post an update showing where all the local Garrard County races stand:

• Magistrate Race: There’s a five-way race for the fifth-district magistrate seat on Garrard’s fiscal court. Incumbent Marvin Conn is running against challengers Brent Causey, Larry Nicely, Chester Satterfield and Betty Von Gruenigen.
• City Council: Two people have filed to run for Lancaster city council seats. One is Chris Davis, who currently serves on the council. Brandon McGlone is the other. Brandon was one of the council’s top three choices to replace former Councilwoman Emily Whitworth when she moved into the county, but the council wound up selecting Maggie Morris instead.
• Sheriff Race: Sheriff Ronnie Wardrip and Lancaster police officer Allen Weston are both running for Garrard Sheriff.
• Mayor Race: Mayor Don Rinthen and City Councilwoman Brenda Powers are running to be mayor of Lancaster.
• Another Magistrate Race: Incumbent Doan Adkinson and challenger Mike Carter are competing for the second-district magistrate seat.
• Constable Race: Wayne Burkhart, Carliss Conley, John Nichols and Billy Sebastian are all running to be the fourth-district constable.
• Another Constable Race: Earl Thornton and Daniel Napier are running for constable in the second district.

Currently uncontested races:

• Judge-Executive (John Wilson)
• Magistrate District One (Joe Leavell)
• Magistrate District Three (Ronnie Lane)
• Magistrate District Four (Fred Simpson)
• Circuit Court Clerk (Dana Hensley)
• PVA (Kay Hall)
• Jailer (Kevin Middleton)
• Coroner (Daryl Hodge)
• County Clerk (Stacy May)
• County Attorney (Jeff Moss)
• Constable District Three (John Dixon)
• Constable District Five (Bryan Wilmot)
