Unofficial Results: Jerrell Retains Seat

By Chris Taylor

Paducah, KY – McCracken Clerk Jeff Jerrell has kept his seat in a 3-way race with two write-in candidates. The Paducah Sun reports over 11,000 voters cast a ballot for Jerrell and write-in candidates Becky Bowers and Mark Kidd garnered a combined total of over 8,000 votes. Jerrell says the election is a mandate of support of his management in the office after several publicized criticisms led Bowers and Kidd to compete for the post.
