No new filers sign up before deadline
Tuesday’s deadline to file to fill ballot vacancies passed without any newcomers.
Only one new candidate joined the fray between the June 2 primary election and noon Tuesday, with Bruce Counterman filing as an independent last week to run for the south district Jay County Commissioner seat.
Each party now has until noon Monday to fill any remaining vacancies on the ballot.
Counterman, a rural Ridgeville resident, will take on Brian McGalliard in the Nov. 3 general election. With incumbent Republican Chuck Huffman not seeking re-election, McGalliard won the Republican primary over Duane Monroe and Barb Street.
The only other contested race at the county level at this point is for three at-large seats on Jay County Council. Incumbent Republican Jeanne Houchins, Republicans Matt Minnich and Ray Newton and Democrats Judy Aker and Josh Gibson are vying for those positions.
Republicans who are currently uncontested for county offices are Jon Eads for circuit court clerk, Michael Brewster for coroner, Brad Daniels for surveyor, Paula Miller for treasurer, Rex Journay for commissioner representing the north district and Gail Dues for superior court judge.
Journay and Dues both defeated incumbents in the primary election, knocking off Mike Leonhard and Max Ludy, respectively.
Daniels, who is seeking his seventh term, turned away a challenge from Jeff Hopkins. Eads, Brewster and Miller were all uncontested in the primary.
At the state level, Jay County voters will choose between incumbent Republican J.D. Prescott and Democrat Julie Snider for state representative in District 33. And the governor’s race features incumbent Republican Eric Holcomb against Democrat Woody Myers and Libertarian Donald G. Rainwater II.
At the top of the ticket, President Donald Trump, a Republican, will seek a second term in office against Democrat and former Vice President Joe Biden.
For U.S. Representative in District 3, which includes Jay County, incumbent Republican Jim Banks will face a challenge from Democrat Chip Coldiron.
