Only three people filed in Woodward County - one in the Fort Supply School District and two in Sharon-Mutual.
Incumbent Lynn Easterwood filed for another team in Office No. 5, but two other offices open for filing - No. 3 and No. 4 - didn’t draw any interest.
Mark Shirley and Misty D. Thompson both filed for Office No. 5 in Sharon-Mutual. The incumbent is Kelly Overton.
There were no filings Monday in Woodward where Linda Harrison is the incumbent and in Mooreland where Brett Bates currently holds the office.
Also, nobody filed in High Plains Technology Center Zone 3, a position currently held by Dr. Virgil Wells.
The filing period continues today from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
