Party primary filing enters final week
With less than a week left until the Dec. 9 state party primary filing deadline, the Montague County races have only one contested race and it is for a three-county election.
A political newcomer also is continuing his push to earn a spot on the ballot through the petition process.
Local filings began on Nov. 9 with primarily incumbents joining the races, and all are reportedly on the Republican ticket. Casey Polhemus, 97th district attorney, is the only candidate to have drawn an opponent for a local race. She has drawn William Knowlton, a former Clay County attorney, as a challenger on the Republican ballot.
District Judge Jack McGaughey has filed for that race.
Other county candidates who have filed for that primary are: Roy Darden, county commissioner precinct one; Mark Murphey, county commissioner precinct three; Marshall Thomas, sheriff; Kathy Phillips, tax assessor-collector; Clay Riddle, county attorney; Stefani Horton, constable one; and Art Ferguson, constable two.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
