The August 1st primary election was required by law because the number of candidates was more than three times the number of open positions.

Ten candidates filed for election by the June 1st deadline – one candidate Michael A. Morris, has since decided to not pursue an active campaign for office. Due to State law, the primary election must still occur.

1420 KJCK will host three candidate forums Tuesday, July 25th, Wednesday, July 26th, and Thursday, July 27th ahead of the August 1st primary election. The forums will be at 8:00 am each day with different candidates participating each morning.

A complete list of the candidates can be found below:

Note: JC Post reached out to all candidates for comment/statements. All candidates have also been invited to participate in the candidate forums.

Candidate forums are sponsored by Coryell Insurors, The Pampered Pet, and the Geary County Clerk’s Office.
