We are one month away from the first big event of the 2022 Election Cycle: Candidate Filing begins on March 7, 2022 and continues through March 18, 2022. Months and months of speculation, rumor and gamesmanship will finally be decided, and we’ll know exactly who will be running for office, who will face a challenger in the June Primary Election and who will go unchallenged.
We love this time of year!
The rumor mill is churning, and it can be difficult to know what’s real. We haven’t been reporting on the rumors, but we do add names to our running list of candidates when we hear them. We will be updating the list hourly during the filing period so you may want to bookmark the webpage.
Just in case you missed it:
