Two local attorneys have announced their candidacies for the 42nd circuit judicial seat as Judge Dennis Foust steps down after 18 years in the post.
Jamie Jameson, a public advocate in Murray and Marshall County Attorney Jeff Edwards announced their candidacies via press release this morning.
Foust remains in office until July 15 and he says he doesn’t expect an interim judge to be appointed in the short time between then and the November 3rd special election.
The 42nd district covers Calloway and Marshall Counties.
