Candidate filing deadline

Filing deadline for candidates seeking non-partisan seats on the Marion City Council and Crittenden County School Board is Aug. 12. Those filing to run will be on the ballot for the Nov. 4 general election.

It appears that at least four of the current city council members will seek re-election. A couple of are undecided. Also, former council member Mike Byford and Marion businessman Thom Hawthorne are thinking about running again.

It appears that there could be just one contested school board race in the Fourth District.

Stay tuned for this week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press to find out all of the details about who's in and who's out for the upcoming election season.
