Pikeville appears headed toward mayoral primary
PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Developing election news on Tuesday has the voters in the city of Pikeville potentially casting two ballots for mayor next year — once in May and the second time in November.
That’s because there now appear to be at least three candidates vying for the office, triggering a mayor primary.
Mayor Jimmy Carter filed his paperwork to seek re-election back on Nov. 5, the first day candidates could file for next year’s elections.
Tuesday morning, Commissioner Steve Hartsock filed his candidacy paperwork. Then on Tuesday night, Commissioner Bob Shurtleff announced via social media that he also intends to seek the office.
