Jared Brossett and Chelsey Richard Napoleon both officially declared their candidacies for clerk of Civil District Court, and Timothy David Ray and Austin Badon filed to run for First City Court clerk on Wednesday morning as qualifying began for the Nov. 6 special and Congressional elections.

A special election is being held for Civil District Court clerk after longtime clerk Dale Atkins was elected to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal in the spring. Brossett is currently the District D City Councilman (after being re-elected last October), and Chelsey Richard Napoleon was Atkins’ deputy and has been serving in the position since Atkins vacated it. This will be the office’s first open-seat election in almost 30 years.
