Only one contested county race for the March 2024 primaries
There have been no additional county party primary filings since the Nov. 16 Montague County Republican Party signing night for the March 5, 2024 elections.
As of Nov. 30 there was only one contested county election, but multiple candidates for the two state Legislative seats and the District 13 Congressional seat. The deadline to file for the primary is Dec. 11.
Montague County Republican Party Chairman Mark Neese said he has received no new filing paperwork since the Nov. 16 county meeting, where a large number of incumbents signed up for re-election.
The only contested race so far is in county commissioner precinct one where Commissioner Roy Darden has filed for re-election and is facing a challenge from Charles King.
