Many local candidates announce intentions to run for office in 2026

Candidate filing opened Wednesday for 2026 elections in Kentucky, and many local incumbents and challengers wasted no time submitting paperwork or announcing their intentions.

McCracken County Sheriff Ryan Norman and Graves County Sheriff Jon Hayden both announced Wednesday that they have filed to run for reelection in their respective counties.

In McCracken County, businessman Jeff Parker announced his candidacy for McCracken County Commissioner in District 2. Parker has held that position previously.

Former McCracken County jailer David Knight also announced his candidacy for McCracken County Commissioner in District 2.

In Crittenden County, candidates filing on the first day were all Republicans. They include Daryl Tabor for County Clerk, Perry Newcom for Judge-Executive, Evan Head for Sheriff, Todd Perryman for Property Valuation Administrator, Bart Frazer and Chad Nelson for County Attorney, Robbie Kirk for Jailer and Brennan Cruce for Magistrate District 5.

In Cadiz, Mitzi Thomas-Lawson announced her candidacy for mayor, to face incumbent Todd King. 

In Livingston County, Sheriff Bobby Davidson announced on social media that he will not be seeking re-election after 16 years of serving in that position. 

Wednesday was the earliest date for the affixing of signatures on Kentucky candidate filing forms for an office on the ballot in 2026. January 9 is the final day to file.
