He will be running against Rickey Wiley, Dale Pennie and Melissa Cribbens. Mark McKelvey entered the race last week opting to try for position 2 currently held by Fred Messerle. McKelvey is running against Geno Landrum and Kermit Gaston. At least two more possible candidates are likely to present themselves before March 6 in order to get on the May primary ballot.
