Two file for county board seats

DANVILLE — Two more candidates stepped up Tuesday to file their petitions to run for office in Vermilion County.

In the second day of filings this week, two local Democrats filed paperwork to run for seats on the county board: former circuit clerk Sue Ponder Miller of Oakwood, and current board member Robert Boyd of Danville.

Miller is seeking a seat in the board’s second district while Boyd is running for another term in District 8.

The two up the total candidates for county board seats two nine after two days of filings.

No Democrats have filed for the 104th District state representative seat or the state senate seat in the 52nd District. Al Reynolds of Danville had announced he intended to run for the senate seat while Danville alderman Mike Puhr confirmed in September he had been approached about running for the 104th District and has been circulating petitions.

The race for the county’s supervisor of assessments office also remains vacant, with no petitions filed by candidates for either party.
