Filing Deadline Tonight For Candidates; Some May Get Free Ride

As tonight’s 9 p.m. filing deadline for candidates for state and local office draws closer, some incumbents look like they will coast to new terms, while others will face tough battles to retain their seats.

As of Friday at 5 p.m., when the State Board of Elections last updated its candidate list, Attorney General Doug Gansler (right) and a dozen state senators – a quarter of the Senate, 11 of them Democrats – have a “free ride” to re-election, with no opponent filed in either the party primary or general election.

That could change today if someone files against them. It could also change in the weeks ahead, because party central committees can name a candidate in races for which no one has filed.

Isn't there any attorney in town who will run for Clerk of Court? We truly need someone in there with legal experience and professional management skills? This Bowen has received a free ride for years - his time is up !

anonymous 8:50, first of all the deadline ends at 9:00 PM tonight, 9 minutes away. Secondly, while its easy for you to say, why don't you tell everyone what Mark has done wrong throughout all these years. You show no respect for the fact that he's held this position for as long as he has. People don't challenge him because he's doing a superb job. Unless you'd like to say other wise?????
