Nine of Carroll County’s 11 justices of the peace had filed as candidates for re-election in 2024 as of 3:30 p.m. Monday, according to the county clerk’s office.
The filing period for county and school candidates began Monday, Nov. 6, and will continue through noon Tuesday, Nov. 14.
The preferential primary will be held March 5, 2024, with the general election scheduled for Nov. 5.
Two incumbent JPs face challengers in 2024, although as of press time Monday there were no contested JP races in the March primary.
District 1 JP Jack Deaton is running as an independent, as is Gerry Ball, who is challenging incumbent JP Harrie Farrow in District 3. Neither Deaton or Ball’s name will appear on the primary ballot but both will be on the general election ballot in November.
Other JPs who have filed as candidates for re-election are Farrow, District 2 JP Bruce Wright, District 4 JP Hunter Rivett, District 5 JP Matt Phillips, District 6 JP Craig Hicks, District 7 JP Kellie Matt, District 10 JP Jerry King and District 11 JP John Howerton. Farrow and Howerton are running as Democrats, while the remainder of the JPs seeking re-election are running as Republicans.
Howerton is being challenged by Republican Caroline Rogers. If no other candidates file for the District 11 seat, Howerton and Rogers would be opponents in the November general election.
As of 3:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13, District 9 JP Roger Hall had filed for re-election. Jon Phillips, a Republican, had filed as a candidate for the District 9 seat.
District 8 JP Francisco Pedraza, who was appointed to finish the term of former JP Don McNeely after Mc-Neely resigned to pursue a successful run for mayor of Green Forest in 2022, is ineligble to run for another term in 2024. As of Monday afternoon, no one had filed as a candidate for the District 8 seat. If no candidate files before the deadline, the seat would again be filled by appointment after Pedraza’s term expires.
Dustin Walker and Teddy Willing have filed as candidates for the Zone 1 seat on the Berryville School Board, while Nicki Hill and Tori Warren are candidates for the Zone 2 seat on the Green Forest School Board.
