Amador County – The last day for declaration of candidacy passed Friday to find only the Amador County Assessor will face opposition in the June 8th primary election. Deborah Smith of the election office said that Irene Jay Elias, of Sutter Creek filed her candidacy for the assessor’s position. Elias completed her filing at about 4:45 p.m. Friday and will face incumbent County Assessor Jim Rooney on the primary ballot. Clerk/Recorder Sheldon Johnson said early Friday that all incumbent candidates had declared their candidacies in 9 seats, including Johnson’s. The eight, including Johnson, seeking reelection unopposed are Superior Court Judge Susan Harlan, District Attorney Todd Riebe, Sheriff Martin Ryan, Auditor Joe Lowe, Treasurer/Tax Collector Michael Ryan, Supervisor Chairman Brian Oneto of District 5, Supervisor Ted Novelli of District 3, and Superintendent of Schools Dick Glock. Republican and Democratic political party central committees declared candidacies, but the posts will not be contested because the number of candidates did not exceed the number of vacancies, Smith said. Their eligibility must still be confirmed. Johnson said an extension for filing as a candidate would have been activated if an incumbent did not file for reelection. Annual salaries for the 9 offices in Amador County total $941,201. All county offices except for judges are 4-year terms. Judges hold 6-year terms.
