Several heated races have developed for state and federal offices, in the wake of last week’s official three-day candidate filing period.

Meanwhile, none of the Kingfisher County incumbents, all Republicans, had drawn an opponent as of presstime Friday, with just hours remaining in the filing period.

Barring any last-minute filing Friday afternoon with the county election board, the following appear to be on their way to new terms without opposition:

County Assessor – Carrie Turner of Kingfisher. (Turner was appointed to fill the position late last year, following the death of longtime assessor Carolyn Mulherin.

County Treasurer – Robin Rother of Okarche. (Rother was appointed to the office, following former treasurer Jeannie Boevers’ election as county clerk.)

County Commissioner, District 1 – Jeff Moss of Kingfisher.

County Commissioner, District 2 – Heath Dobrovolny of Kingfisher.

Other candidates serving all or portions of Kingfisher County who file with the state election board also also had not drawn opponents by press time:

Kingfisher County Associate District Judge – Lance Schneiter of Okarche.

District Judge, District 4, Office 2 – Paul K. Woodward of Enid.

District Judge, District 26, Office 1 – Paul Hesse of Mustang.

District Judge, District 26, Office 2 – Khristan Strubhar of Piedmont.

(All judicial races are nonpartisan.)

State Senate, District 20 – Chuck Hall of Perry.

State House, District 50 – Mike Dobrinski of Okeene, Republican

State House, District 41 – Denise Crosswhite Hader of Yukon, Republican.
