 Non-filing leads to re-election of three county offices, four of five county council seats up for grabs web posted March 31, 2008 COUNTY – With the filings completed, three county positions are almost certainly assured re-election in November. Edgefield County Sheriff Adel Dobey will not see a challenger nor will Edgefield County Clerk of Court Shirley Newby. Edgefield County Councilman Willie Bright saw a hotly contested race grow cold assuring him yet another term in office. Without a filed opponent each will be re-elected with just one vote in November. Four other county seats are being contested and all belonging to the county council. District 1 Councilman Norman Dorn faces a field of four, one Democrat and three Republicans. Albert Talbert has filed to challenge Dorn for the Democrat nomination and 20-year Edgefield Town Councilman Bill Jackson, and two political newcomers Trace Faust and Jeanette Cockrell have signed on to challenge the seat on the Republican ticket. There will almost certainly be a Republican run-off following the June 10 primary on the Republican ticket with three candidates and the winner of the Democrat ticket will move on to the November General Election. District 2 has left incumbent county councilman Everett Kitchens facing Rodney Ashcraft for the Republican nomination with no Democrat challenger. The June 10 primary will determine the holder of this seat long before the November election. One of the longest serving members of the county council, Chairman Monroe Kneece, who represents District 3, will face off against a relatively political newcomer James “Jamie” Rushton Jr. who filed late on Saturday. Both have told EdgefieldDaily.com they have agreed to run a clean campaign free of “mudslinging”. Merriwether incumbent Joel Hudson, who has held the District 5 seat for eight years, has been challenged by Genia Blackwell, another newcomer to the political scene. The June 10 primary will also determine who will fill this seat in the November election. As the June Primary comes, three of the four challenged county council seats will be confirmed. Districts 2, 3, and 5; which is a majority of seats on the county council and the controlling authority, will be written in stone. The fourth seat of District 1 will be determined after a run off and finality coming in November.
