Friday, Dec. 15, 2017 — The first candidate to file for District 5 magistrate filed his declaration to run for the office Friday morning at the office of Nelson County Clerk Elaine Filiatreau.

DAVID M. WILLIAMS II

David M. Williams II, 46, filed as a Republican candidate for the May primary. Williams is the agency manager at the Nelson County Farm Bureau Insurance office on Bloomfield Road in Bardstown.

Rumors that incumbent District 5 Magistrate Jerry Hahn may not seek re-election have continued to circulate. Some have questioned if Hahn will run again following injuries he suffered earlier this year in a tractor accident. Hahn bounced back quickly from those injuries and only missed a handful of fiscal court meetings while recovering.

Hahn is completing his third four-year term as a magistrate for the county’s 5th District.

The deadline to file as a candidate for the May primary is 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018.
