 About this list

The above list of candidates includes the winners of the June 3 primary. The filing period for the November 4 general election for candidates not representing the two official parties is August 4-27 for county candidates.  Ballot Access and Candidate Qualifications  The political parties may also nominate candidates by convention to fill ballot vacancies through August 27 (August 15 for federal and state offices).

Before August 4, the Johnson County Auditor's Office will accept a notice of intent to declare candidacy from candidates for county office only who do not represent the two official parties.

Upon filing nomination papers, all candidates complete an affidavit of candidacy form.  This includes a space for the candidate's phone number with the notation "Optional, will be published."  If no phone number is listed for a candidate on this web site, the candidate left the phone number space blank on the affidavit of candidacy.

The affidavit of candidacy form also includes a space for the candidate to list an e-mail address.  To e-mail a candidate, replace the italic AT in the address with the @ sign.  (The @ has been replaced with AT on this web site to block address harvesting software used by spammers.)

If no e-mail address is listed for a candidate, the candidate left the e-mail address space blank on the affidavit of candidacy.

If a name appears underlined, the name is a link to the campaign website.  Candidates whose names are not underlined do not have campaign web sites.  If you know of a website that is not listed for a candidate who has filed, please contact our office.
