Who’s running statewide in 2010?

Filed under: 2010 Elections — June 2, 2009 @ 3:30 pm

Trying to keep track of potential candidates for 2010 is rough right now with so many rumors flying around. However, we’re keeping a list here at GLW in hopes that it’ll be a little easier. This list includes only state constitutional officers and is by no means final.

This list was complied from various press releases, news sources, filings with the Ethics Commission, Politics1.com, Peach Pundit and Tondee’s Tavern.

Incumbents are marked with an asterisk (*), while potential candidates are in italics. The list will be updated throughout the year and into next year. If you feel that someone is missing from the list or someone who should come off the list, please leave a comment or drop me an e-mail.

Keep checking back as this list will change often.
