Nevada county voters willhelp fill plenty of offices -from county government positions to governor and U. S, senator on primary election day June 2, Interest in the 1970 elections will begin building shortly as the time to file for office_starts on Feb, 23 -seven. weeks from today. Between then and March 20, the last filing date,.anyone who has aspirations for an elective office will be visiting the county clerk's office at least twice -first to get nomination papers, then to return them with the needed signatures and some cash. Candidates don't get to run for free. They have to plunk down a filing fee of two per cent of one year's pay for the office they
are seeking» The exceptions are district attorney and Superior “Court Judge, which for some reason require only a one per cent filing fee to get in the In addition, ‘candidates must get between 20and 30 supporters to sign a nominating petition. The list of local offices to be filled this election year is fairly long, and in almost all Caste. Sein SE URR RAS O46 EOE OO 88” incumbents are expected to try to -keep.-their jobs; Here's a look at the local offices on the ballot. and some. of the possible candidates: --County supervisor. District four, which. encompasses western Grass Valley to. the county line, will be on the ballot as will district three, Grass Valley to Nevada City. William Thomas is the incumbent in district four and Robert Long, appointed after the death ofLou Hartman in September, is the district three supervisor. Bothmen almost certainly will seek election, and both could have opposition, although no definite candidates have arisen yet. Most likely possibilities are Carl Early, who sought the third district appointment, and Elizabeth George, who has been active in economic development activities and lives in district four. --Superior. court judge. Who will run for this job is awfully "iffy" right now because who will be appointed to the job is still awfully "iffy." It will soon be two months since Judge Vernon Stoll announced his retirement, Jae no one has nega. pamied to, y.2>> ro ode ae aye the seat yet. At last report, the governor's staff in charge of such: appointments still:was screening candidates and potential candidates. --Justice -court judge. Both Grass ‘Valley. and Nevada Judicial districts have elections in 1970. Nevada City incumbent Verle Gray probably will run, but Grass Valley Judge Victor Montre may retire.Elton. (Champ) Williams, Grass Valley's constable, has taken an examination to qualify as a candidate for justice court judge, so hemay have thoughts in that direction. The county supervisors have talked about merging the two judicial districts and made an aborted try to eliminate the Grass Valley constable's post last year. Whether either or both efforts will-come to fruition before filing time is doubtful now. --Elective county department head, At this time, it appears all incumbents will run again. They include Assessor. Elton (Bub) Tobiassen, Auditor John ‘T. Trauner, Dist. Atty. Harold Berliner, Clerk-Recorder Theodore (Ted) Kohler, Sheriff Wayne. Brown and Tax CollectorTressucer Marcella se Ps ‘ . another. , Opposition could develop for all of the above, but two people have been particularly. mentioned as likely candidates, John Berryman,. a Grass Valley policeman, is expected torun for sheriff; and. Robert Enright, whose. job as NID assessor was eliminated, has considered running for treasurer tax collector. --Legislature and Congress. Incumbents for Nevada county voters are Assemblyman Gene Chappie, State Sen, Stephen Teale: and Congressman Harold (Bizz) Johnson, The size of these districts, all of. which cover many Sierra mountain counties, makes. it difficult for a challenger to become known, Still, Jack Barker of Auburn, who has twice lost badly to Chappie, is making noises like a candidate again, Teale has drawn an op. ponent from populous Stanislaus county the last two times and may do so again. Those are just-a few of the possibilities. Many other people may get a sudden hankering to Seek public office; some of those mentioned may lose the politicians's teh for one reason or ‘ 29ts oF i
