  • WINTERS ELECTED FIRST FEMALE PVA

    The current chief deputy of Oldham County’s Property Valuation Administration will take the top spot come December.

    Barbara Winters defeated Albert Harrison in a Republican primary on Tuesday by more than 300 votes to become the next PVA. No Democrat or independent candidates filed for the PVA race, meaning Winters’ win solidifies her spot.

    The PVA race was the only open seat this election cycle in Oldham County, as current PVA Ron Winters is retiring.

  • Magistrate rematch features court battle

    One of the closest races for magistrate in 2010 will see a repeat race on May 20.

    Current 5th District Magistrate JD Sparks is running for re-election against the person he beat for the job four years ago, former magistrate Iva Davis. The first race between the two was decided by a mere 13 votes.

    And both candidates are feeling good about the second round.

    “I’ve had a wonderful response from the 5th District,” Davis said. “I’ve put out 350 signs, had people walking with me. I’m overwhelmed with the support.”
