Calhoun Commissioner David Barr, a Republican, has not made a decision regarding
running again for the position. Barr's commission position will be on the 2002 ballot,
with several people expected to compete in the primary.
Democrat's reportedly interested include Steve Whited, who works as an
administrator for Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center, and Lynn Gilbert-Morris, local
dentist.
Reports are also afloat that local hardware store owner Rick Sampson might run for
the position. Donald Little, well-known Democrat leader, has also expressed some
interest in running.
Numerous names have been dropped regarding people interested in running for the
magistrate position currently held by Richard Postalwait, who was recently appointed
to fill the position until the General Election.
Members of the local Democratic and Republican Executive Committee are to be
elected, along with a member of the Calhoun County Board of Education. Delegate Bill
Stemple will be running for the House of Delegates, a district which now includes
about half of Clay, all of Calhoun and about half of Gilmer. The Senate seat is now in a
new Senatorial District currently being served from Marshall and Ohio counties. The
new district stretches from southern Calhoun County to Wheeling Island.
