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.

“My Round Table events will be a reflection of how I will communicate with Cumberland Countians when I’m Mayor. In order to restore accountability to the Mayor’s Office, openness and transparency have to come first. And that begins with making myself easily available and accessible to the citizens of this county who entrust us with the privilege of leading. We have problems in Cumberland County and the same tired, politics as usual or side-show circus acts we’ve seen too often in the local media lately will not fix those problems. The County Mayor is a public servant whose responsibility is to serve the people- not the other way around. I look forward to continuing the conversation I’ve started with Cumberland Countians.”
