Amador County – 11 people filed for the Democratic Party and 4 filed for the Republican Party last Friday as the primary election filing period closed for their respective Central Committees. Republican and Democratic political party central committees declared candidacies, but the positions will not be contested because the number of candidates did not exceed the number of vacancies, said Deborah Smith of the county election office. All of the filed candidates have been confirmed as eligible for their Central Committees posts, the office said Monday. Democrats left 10 vacancies in the 5 Supervisor Districts, while Republicans left 21 vacancies. The election office said the respective Central Committees must appoint someone to fill the vacancies. Last Friday was the final day for filing declarations of candidacy, and while the rest of the county administration building was closed for Furlough Friday, Clerk/Registrar Sheldon Johnson kept the election office was open all day, with a button at the doors to alert the office when people arrived for filings. The filings had to be made Friday for the candidates to be on the June 8th primary ballot. Republicans had 1 candidate file in each of 4 district. District One ( with 5 seats) was filed for by Lois E. McDonald of Jackson. District 2 ( also with 5 seats) was filed for by Clayton R. Sharps of Ione. District 3, with 5 seats had no qualified candidates. District 4 (also 5 seats available) had 1 filing, by Ralph H. Harder of Jackson.
