BRONSON - Even though qualifying does not begin until June 16 at noon and end on June 20 at noon, there are 21 people seeking to fill 10 Levy County posts, according to records.
One person has already dropped out of the race - even before the official qualifying date.
Melody LaFlam of Bronson, who lists no party affiliation, had opened a financial account to challenge incumbent Supervisor of Elections Connie Asbell for her office but LaFlam has withdrawn, according to records. As of last Thursday, Asbell was the only person seeking the post.
Primary races are set for Aug. 26, but Republican Party candidates in four races already have guaranteed a Nov. 4 county election to decide those winners, unless they withdraw before the primary.
Bobby McCallum (D-Chiefland) is challenging incumbent Sheriff Johnny Smith Jr. (D-Bronson). If no other person qualifies in that race, it will be decided in a primary because both men are Democrats.
The same is true in the race between Bruce Greenlee (D-Williston) and incumbent Clerk of Court Danny Shipp (D-Bronson).
