Today’s customer of the day (Pepper), would like to file a formal complaint about having to make eye contact 😂 She came in a little shy, kept things low-key and avoided unnecessary attention 🐾

Tuesday, June 2, 2026, is the deadline for candidates to file for nonpartisan races such as mayor, city council or school board.
The paperwork must be received by 4:00p.m.

Pursuant to KRS 117.383(8) and 31 KAR 4:230, we are required to perform a post-election hand-to-eye recount. The office of Secretary of State will choose ONE machine in ONE precinct to hand count ONE race on that particular machine. Each party appoints a representative to conduct the audit.

This is not a recount requested by ANY candidate. This is a statewide policy that has been put into place to ensure integrity in every county’s election process. It’s merely a checks and balances system.

Clay City 1st Church of God was chosen as our location and the sheriff’s race was selected by the Secretary of State.

This will take place Friday, May 22, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in the Powell County Courthouse Courtroom and is open to the general public.

Just now sitting down after a long day. Thank you Powell County for a successful election.

To all of the precinct election officers, thank you all for your service and dedication in making sure everything was perfect. It was a pretty smooth day and I appreciate each and every one of you.

To my County Board of Elections, Grant Faulkner, who stepped in for Danny Rogers, Dean Rogers, who stepped in for Tina Epperson and Randy Bowen, thanks for all your help behind the scenes.

Craig Lindon and his team from Kentuckiana Elections, especially Tracee Brewer, who spent the day with us and James Young from ES&S. You guys are the best!!

To my staff, thank you all for all you do! I couldn’t do what I do without you.

Patty Swisshelm
Glenna Blythe
Dee Faulkner
Jamie Ewen
Michael Frazier
Barbara Cox
Judy Proctor
Dewayne Estes
Claire Estes
Bridget Marcum
Thank you all for making it an easy process and for all your help.

Now, on to Election Day ✔️
