Next year is already shaping up to be an interesting election season for DeKalb County, with Fort Payne native Ron Sparks among the hopefuls for governor.
There are also a number of local races to be decided next year, including:
• DeKalb County sheriff, currently held by Jimmy Harris (D).
• DeKalb County district attorney, currently held by Mike O’Dell (D).
DeKalb County Commission president, currently held by Sid Holcomb (D). Holcomb has announced he will not seek re-election, and current District 1 Commissioner Ricky Harcrow, whose term is up in 2012, has said he would seek the position.
• DeKalb County Commission District 3, currently held by Chris Kuykendall (R). Gov. Bob Riley recently appointed Kuykendall to fill the remainder of the current term, after the death of incumbent Brant Craig in July. Kuykendall has said he would likely run for a full term in 2010.
