722. Jefferson County Democrats

The blog's last entry concerned the filing deadline for the local Democratic Executive Committee. As it turns out, it may or may not have been extended based on Franklin Circuit Court Judge Phillip Shepherd's extension of the legislative filing date, on which the local filing date is based. Judge Shepherd extended those filing to Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 4:30 p.m.

Congressional filings were extended by the legislature last week to Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.

All other filing deadlines were yesterday at 4:00 p.m. So, while there exists the possibility that there will be more filings, we do know about the following filings for the local Democratic Party and Jefferson County's elective offices. Below is a listing of all of those. Incumbents are denoted by an (i). All of these Democrats should be applauded for taking these efforts toward election to partisan or elective offices.

Finally, while not a partisan office, I wish to acknowledge the filing for the Kentucky Court of Appeals by my longtime friend and former boss Circuit Court Judge Irv Maze.

Two other Democrats' names will appear on the Jefferson County ballot this fall. John Yarmuth (i) is a candidate for reelection as Third District Congressman. The other one isn't even a Kentuckian. His name is Barack Obama (i). I am supporting both of their bids for reelection.

These are some of the Democrats willing to make a difference in Jefferson County.
