One contested race for Fayette County Commissioner between incumbent Tony Anderson and challenger Donald Fleak — both Republicans — is set for the March 17 primary election.

The deadline for partisan candidates to file declarations of candidacy was 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18 — 90 days before the presidential primary election. The Fayette County Board of Elections recently certified the candidates running for local offices.

The race between Anderson and Fleak is currently the only contested race, although write-in candidates for the primary must file by Jan. 6. Independents running in the November general election must file by March 16, a day before the primary.
