Three file for judge seats
(The Stokes News) - Filing opened more than a week ago for five elected positions that represent Stokes County, but the Board of Elections office has been quiet since the first two days of the filing period when six candidates filed for the five seats.
According to Elections Director Jason Perry, no new candidates had filed for the available seats as of press time Tuesday.
But that is not the case in Raleigh, where three candidates have filed to run for judge seats which are open this year.
Perry reported that Moses Massey of Mount Airy will be running for re-election as Superior Court judge in District 17B, which covers Surry and Stokes counties. Also, Mark Badgett of Pinnacle is running for re-election as District Court judge in 17B. Badgett will be challenged by William F. “Bill” Southern III of Walnut Cove, who is an assistant district attorney in 17B and also filed for the District Court seat.
