In the race for the unexpired treasurer's term, Sherri Childs has filed for election. She is currently serving in the post after being appointed following the retirement of Kathy Tremont.

Current 1st District county commissioner, Trish Giordano, Independent, has said that she intends to file for election. Nordyke provided an explanation. "That filing deadline when you run as an Independent you can only file by petition, and that deadline would be on Aug. 1 at noon.

There is a June 10 at noon filing deadline at the Secretary of State's Office and that is for state representative and state board of education. June 10 is also the deadline for people in the Democrat, Republican or Libertarian parties to make a change to their party affiliation or to become unaffiliated.
