As of this morning, six candidates had filed for various Jackson County offices, two of which for office of County Assessor. Both candidates, incumbent Gerald Sherill and Larry Bassel, are Democrats.

“That means we will have an election in July,” said Jackson County Election Board Secretary Jennifer Wilson.

The election for the 2 year unexpired term will be held July 29.

Other filings include incumbent Roger C. Levick for County Sheriff, Rhonda Stepanovich for Court Clerk, Anthony Fixico for County Commissioner District One, and Christi Hair for County Clerk.

At the state level, Republican Charles Ortega of Altus filed for the District #52 seat on the Oklahoma House of Representatives, the post being vacated by David Braddock who reached term limits.
