Floyd County Widow Files For Husband's Seat
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear has not yet appointed anyone to fill an empty seat on the Floyd County Fiscal Court left by the death of Jackie Edford Owens, a former District 2 magistrate whose name will remain on the ballot for the May 18th election, though the votes cast for him cannot be counted. His widow, Hattie Owens filed paperwork last week as a write-in candidate to fill her late husband’s seat. Hattie Owens says she filed in response to a flood of requests to do so. Owens also says she worked closely with her husband from 1986 until his death on April 1st. Jackie Edford Owens served for more than 20 years as a county magistrate.
