Candidate Information

Candidate filing begins Monday, February 16th, 2010 and closes March 12, 2010. If an incumbent fails to file by March 12, 2010, the filing period for that office will be extended to March 17, 2010 for individuals other than the incumbent.

Candidate Watch Candidate Watch is updated every day, Monday through Friday, at approximately 5:00 PM.
