Candidate Filing: Week 1 Update

It was a slow start to the first official week of candidate filing for state and federal offices. Only three candidates from the Three Corners region have started the nomination filing process. The process involves paying the filing fee, gathering enough nomination signatures and filling forms that officially place a candidate on the ballot.

Those beginning the nomination process are Assemblyman Chris Norby (72nd Assembly seat), Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod (32nd Senate Seat) and Michael Williamson (42nd Congressional).

Signatures gathered on Signatures in-lieu forms apply to the nomination signatures required. Our most recent signatures in-lieu update provides the names of those that gathered signatures in-lieu. It is not necessary to gather these signatures but most candidates do. So far, Assemblyman Norby is the only candidate that did not.
