With less than two weeks left for filing, primarily incumbents have signed up for the Nocona May 2 elections.
The filing period ends on Feb. 14 with ballots open for the Nocona City Council, Nocona School Board and Nocona Hospital District.
In the NISD races, both incumbents. J.W. Patterson, place five, and Jay Womack, place seven, have filed for re-election in the two seats that are open.
The hospital district board also has all three incumbents filed: Charles May, Cris Lemon and Ron Brown.
However, in the Nocona City Council races there are three places up on the ballot and none of the incumbents have filed. The seats filled by Tracy O’Neal, Steve Tettleton and Bob Ferguson are on the ballot. Randy Duckworth, a former member of the North Montague County Water District Board, is the only candidate to have signed up for the ballot as of Monday.

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.
