Coming up this Saturday, it will be time to head to the polls again. This time around, the big race in the election will be for the office of State Treasurer. On the ballot for that election are:

  • Angele Davis (REP)
  • Derrick Edwards (Dem)
  • Terry Hughes (REP)
  • Joseph D. Little (LBT)
  • Neil Riser (REP)
  • John Schroder (REP)

The winner of that race will replace John Kennedy, who held the office from 2000 until January of this year, when he was elected to the U.S. Senate. With six candidates all vying for the same position, we can probably look forward to a run-off election.

While the race for treasurer will be the main focus of the election, there will also be several other items on the ballot. Here is a list of the various items that will appear on the ballot this Saturday.
