(I’ve added campaign websites that I could find.)
Not everyone who has filed papers to run has been the subject of news articles. And some news outlets have reported more than others. As of Friday at 5:00 here are the folks who have filed at least some papers indicating that they intend to seek office, or, in the case of the incumbents, failed to file papers saying they were not running.
