STAFF REPORT
Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018 — More candidates are filing for office at Nelson County Clerk Elaine Filiatreau’s office as today’s 4 p.m. deadline approaches.
DISTRICT 5 MAGISTRATE. John William “Trey” Bradley, 38, a resident of Bloomfield Road, filed his paperwork Tuesday as a Republican candidate for District 5 magistrate.
Incumbent District 5 magistrate Democrat Jerry Hahn is not running for re-election. Bradley is the third candidate to file for the office and the second Republican to file.
Bradley will face-off against David M. Williams II in the May primary to determine the Republican nominee. The winner of the primary will run against the Democratic candidate, Eric W. Shelburne, in the November election — unless another Democratic candidate files to oppose Shelburne before today’s deadline.
DISTRICT 3 MAGISTRATE. Bellwood Road resident David Lee Call, 67, filed Tuesday as a Democratic candidate for District 3 magistrate. Call is the third candidate and the second Democrat to file for District 3 magistrate.
Call will face incumbent Democrat Magistrate Bernard Ice in the May primary. The winner of the primary will face Republican candidate Selvey W. Vittitoe in the November general election. Vittitow filed earlier today as a candidate for District 3 magistrate.
FILING DEADLINE NEARS. The deadline to file as a candidate is 4 p.m. today, Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2018.
