PRESTONSBURG – Since this past Thursday there have been only two other candidates file for elections in Floyd County, and both of those are constable races.
Terry Triplett, of Garrett, has filed to run for constable in District 2, while Jordan Case, of Dana, will be on the upcoming ballot for constable in District 4.
Others who have already filed include incumbent Judge-Executive R.D. “Doc” Marshall and Sheriff John K Blackburn, who both filed a week ago.
No other local races have seen candidates file, including races for magistrate. District 1 Magistrate John Goble said last week that he and fellow magistrates currently sitting on the court, which include Jackie Edford Owens, Ronnie Akers and Donny Daniels, do not plan to file until after the first of the year to avoid what he categorized as extensive paperwork.
Still, the filing that has garnered the most attention and given rise to the most speculation has been Bill Mike Runyon’s Frankfort filing for state representative in the 97th District, a post long held by Hubert Collins.
Runyon, a former championship basketball coach at Paintsville High School, is currently a sitting member of the Paintsville City Council.
