Upcoming Local elections

Greetings Page County Republicans:
I wanted to provide you a short update as to our upcoming county elections as we see them today. 
The Page GOP will not conduct any primaries this year. Had we conducted a primary, all petitions for the pending openings had to be delivered by 3 April, in order for the signatures to be verified prior to the start of early voting, 2 May. Only three individuals submitted their petitions by this April deadline:
– Board of Supervisor (BOS) Precinct 1, Jeremy Baldwin;
– BOS, Chairman, Clinton “Bucky” Thomas;
– BOS Precinct 4, Susan Kyle. 
– BOS Precinct 2 and 3 individuals are not up for election this year. 
Because Jeremy, Clinton, and Susan were unopposed, e.g. no one else submitted a petition to run against them as a Republican by the 3 April deadline, there was no need for a primary. It is noteworthy to point out that in regard to local elections, candidates running for any county elected position are not identified by party on the ballot. 
As stated above, because there were no party specific (read “Republican”) challengers to the above positions, a primary will not be conducted. So, in terms of the BOS, the following are the individuals the Page GOP will be supporting:
BOS Chairman: Clinton “Bucky” Thomas (current chair – Keith Weakly will not run again).
Precinct 1: Jeremy Baldwin. The incumbent will be running as an independent. 
Precinct 2: N/A as Allen Louderback’s term ends in 12/2027.
Precinct 3: N/A as Ryan Cubbage’s term ends 12/2027.
Precinct 4: Susan Kyle – because she was appointed to complete Isaac Smelter’s term, she must run for election in November. 
Precinct 5: TBD – according to the Page county registrar, Jeff Vaughan, incumbent, will run again. He will however not have the support of the GOP as he failed to submit his paperwork to run as a Republican and has not joined the Page GOP – he will be running as an independent. 
Any additional challengers to upcoming open positions on the BOS have until 17 Jun to submit their petitions, and if verified, to be placed on the November ballot. And because these potential challengers failed to submit their petitions as a Republican to mandate a primary, they will be considered independents. 
In terms of Commonwealth Attorney, there will be no primary. The judge must issue a writ requiring an election to replace Bryan Cave before an official election process can be initiated. Chuck Butler and Chapman Good have obtained the requisite paperwork to submit petitions for candidacy. Once the judge’s actions are complete, post 16 May, Bryan departure date, we will then make a determination as to our support. There is another potential candidate for this position, Parker Gochenour. He has not made his final decision known at this point. So we could potentially have three candidates running for Commonwealth Attorney. 
In terms of school board, even though the positions are unaffiliated, it is good to know we have three openings to fill on the ballot in November – the Chair, a county wide elected position; Precinct 1, for which we have no known candidates as of this date; and Precinct 5, for which we have several possible candidates. Even though the positions are unaffiliated, our GOP will identify our preferred candidates once the time is appropriate to do so. 
Stand by for additional information as we get closer to the 17 Jun deadline. 
Best Regards
Michael Overfelt
Chairman, Page County Republican Committee
