The filing period for county elected offices for candidates not running as a political party nominee began this week, and already several people have entered the races.
Party candidates were determined at a primary election June 5, but no-party candidates can file nomination papers from Aug. 6 through Aug. 29 for the Nov. 6 general election.
Amanda Theilen, election clerk at the Floyd County Auditor’s Office, provided this list of candidates that had turned in no-party nomination papers as of Thursday afternoon:
- Floyd County recorder: Deborah K. Roberts.
- Scott Township clerk: Samantha Kruse.
- Scott Township trustee: Andrew Kruse.
- Scott Township trustee: Paul Ott.
- St. Charles Township trustee: Dennis Sanvig.
- St. Charles Township clerk: Geri Aikey.
- Rock Grove Township trustee: Michael Shanks.
- Floyd Township trustee: Duane Folz.
These people had previously been selected by their parties to run for office:
- County supervisor (2 seats available): Douglas Kamm (R), Roy Schwickerath (D), Stewart Dalton (D).
- County treasurer: Frank Rottinghaus (D).
- County attorney: Rachel Ginbey (R).
In addition, Mike Staudt had announced previously that he will seek election to one of the county supervisor seats, running as a no-party candidate, but he had not filed as of Thursday.
