With County Executive bob_govv and District Attorney FrancisHUnderwood recalled by voters, Harrison County is awaiting special elections to fill both offices. The Election Commission has not announced dates. The Harrison Independent has compiled the people known to be running and others who could draw attention as the races take shape.
The distinction matters. Confirmed candidates have publicly announced a run or confirmed their intention to run directly to The Harrison Independent. Unconfirmed names have not announced; their inclusion reflects this newsroom’s analysis of people whose current roles or public profiles could make them credible contenders. It is not a report that they intend to run.
