Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Not many candidates have filed for open offices for Kimball County or the City of Kimball, County Clerk Cathy Sibal told the Observer.
But as of early Tuesday, she said four individuals have filed for Kimball County commissioner on the Republican side.
They are incumbent Carl Stander files and challengers Dave Hottell (former Kimball County highway superintendent), Matt Bright and Sarah Weisbrook.
The winner of the primary election on May 14 will move forward to the general ballot. No Democrats have announced their intentions for the commissioner position.
Meanwhile, no candidates have filed to run for Kimball City Council, where two seats will be open. The seats are held by Christy Warner and Gabe Ingram.
Sibal said the deadline for incumbents to file is Feb. 15, and the filing date for non-incumbents is March 1.
