Four Candidates Seek House District 55 Seat

A fourth candidate has announced he'll seek the House District 55 seat vacated by the recent appointment of Rep. Ryan McMullen to a federal agricultural post.

Newest entrant into the race is Larry Peck of Sentinel, who joins fellow Democrat Alex Damon, the mayor of Cordell, in seeking the Democratic nomination. Peck is a retired agriculture education instructor and FFA adviser at Sentinel High School.

Republicans Todd Russ of Cordell and Jeff Ledford of Hobart seek the GOP nomination. Russ, a banker and member of the Cordell City Council, previously sought a Senate seat.
