Candidate filing set for Brooke County offices

WELLSBURG — Those interested in filing for Brooke County offices up in this year’s primary and general elections may do so from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday from Monday through Jan. 30 and from 9 a.m. to noon on Jan. 31 at the election office of the county courthouse.

Filing fees for the offices are: $435.35 for county commissioner (candidates must reside in the Weirton Magisterial District); $632.50 for county magistrate; $25 for school board seat, $10 for county surveyor and $10 for each of two seats on the county’s Republican and Democrat committees.

County Clerk Kimberly Barbetta said the county commission seat currently held by A.J. Thomas, who is leaving the position after March 1, will be filled by an appointment from the commission from the Follansbee Magisterial District because that’s Thomas’ affiliation and residency.

After that, the executive committees of the Brooke County Republican and Democrat parties may name a candidate to run for the unexpired term in November.
