May First Cumberland County Primary Races Set and 4 incumbents face no challengers

The Cumberland Count Primary election races are set as of the February 15 deadline there are 7 candidates qualified for the Republican Primary for the office of Cumberland County Mayor and no Democrats.



Candidates who have qualified for the May Republican Primary race for the County Mayor's office include Timothy A. Claflin, Allen Foster, J.C. Hancock, Randal Kidwell, Doug Scarlett, Ligue Wisdom and Danny Wyatt.
No Democratic candidates have qualified to run for County Mayor in the May Primary but an Independent candidate for County Mayor has qualified for the ballot, Sandra Lee (Sandy) Davis. Davis will appear on the August County Ballot as an independent but does not have to run on the May Primary. The Winner of the Republican May primary race will face Davis on the August Ballot.

Three Republican candidates for the office of County Road Superintendent have qualified for the May primary including incumbent Scott Blaylock and challengers Stanley L. Hall and Kevin D. Music. Blaylock is the incumbent County Road Superintendent and both of the other men have run for the office previously.

With the retirement of Court Clerk Larry Sherrill, Two candidates have qualified to be on the ballot for the Republican Primary race for Circuit Court Clerk, Jessica R. Burgess and Nick Neal. No Democratic candidate will appear on the ballot.

The remaining races have a single candidate and are essentially settled since none of the incumbents running for re-election face any opposition.

Incumbent Judy Graham Swallows has qualified for the Register of Deeds on the Democratic primary.

Incumbent Sheriff Casey Cox is the only candidate qualified for the Republican primary. And no candidate will appear on the Democratic ballot.

Incumbent Kim Tollett Wyatt has qualified for Trustee on the Republican Primary and incumbent Jule Bryson has qualified for County Clerk on the Republican Primary. No opposition from either Republicans or Democrats will appear on the ballot.

Short of something unforeseen at this time, Casey Cox will serve another term as Sheriff, Judy Graham Swallow will serve another term as Register of Deeds. Kim Tollett Wyatt will remain County Trustee and Jule Bryson will remain as County Clerk.

No races will pit a Republican against a Democrat. Candidates do have a week to withdraw from a race so their name won't appear on the ballot.
