NISD only entity to have contested election in May
The deadline to file as a candidate for the May 6 ballot for the three Nocona entities with only the school district planning an election.
Nocona Independent School District is the only one with a contested race for place seven. Incumbent Jay Womack, retired agriculture teacher, is challenged by Shelly Parker, paramedic/respiratory therapist. If Womack is elected it would be his third, three-year term as a trustee.
The Place Five seat on the board has Gary Eldred running for the position. Incumbent J.W. Patterson had filed, but pulled out after Eldred, a local realtor, filed for the race.
The Nocona City Council will be uncontested with the city expected to cancel its election. Mayor Robert Fenoglio is running unopposed along with Councilmen Donnie Davis and Robert Fuller.
For the Nocona General Hospital District Board incumbents Kristal Ferguson, Chris Keck, Ken Koontz and Paula Webb filed for re-election. The district also is expected to cancel the election.
