Mitchell Mayor Files For Re-Election

Last updated on Monday, January 26, 2015

(BEDFORD) - Mitchell Mayor Gary Pruett, a Democrat, has filed for re-election in Mitchell.

Also running on the Democratic ticket on the May 5 primary election is Ernest D. Speer and Eugene "Pud" Terrell.

On the Republican ticket is former mayor Dan Terrell, who lost to Pruett in 2007 and Mitchell city council member Vicky Schlegel.

In Bedford, Independent candidate Mayor Shawna Girgis officially filed for re-election on Wednesday.

Because Mayor Girgis is not a member of a political party, her name will not appear on the primary ballot but will be on the November 3 general election ballot.

For Girgis' name to be on the November ballot she had to submit the names of at least 52 registered voters. She submitted nearly 500 names. Lawrence County Clerk Myron Rainey has certified 416 petition signatures for Mayor Shawna Girgis' re-election campaign.

Major political party candidates seeking election to offices in Bedford, Mitchell and Oolitic have until noon Feb. 6 to file.
