It seems the race for Gary Newell's open seat in the 87th state house district is well underway. According to this link we have four candidates who have already filed, one reportedly about to file, and at least one other rumored candidate who may or may not be running (stay tuned for updates as we get them). The deadline for candidates to file for the August primary vote is May 11 so we could end up with a pretty crowded race.
I only bothered with the GOP candidates since the primary will almost certainly determine the eventual winner as the last 2 Democratic Party candidates haven't been able to crack 36% of the vote.
