This is updated as of 12/30 at about, 4:15. At this point, papers have to be filed Monday or Tuesday, the deadline is 5:00 Tuesday. There are 9 races where the paperwork is all turned in, 11 potential races if more paperwork comes in. 17 incumbents remain unchallenged. There are 2 potential primaries, but rumors are at least one won’t happen. Declarations of non-candidacy were due December 28th, so now, if anyone backs out, the deadline for filing will be extended. I expect several people haven’t turned in their signatures, because they want to collect more over the 4 day weekend. I also suspect, and I don’t like it very much, that many haven’t filled out their Statement of Interest forms because it helps people do opposition research, plus, they aren’t due until January 19th. Remember, its not official until they have all their paperwork in (Registration Statement, Declaration of Candidacy and 50 Signatures – the Statement of Interest is a County Requirement.) So . . . here is who is on the ballot, and who is not. – its official on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 5:00 in the clerk’s office . . . until then, who knows what might happen. And if you spot any mistakes or have websites I should link to, PLEASE let me know! When in doubt about this information, check with the friendly county clerk’s office.
