Four “county” offices up for election in 2010, only one challenged
A week from today is the Missouri primary. In some races for State Rep and Congress there are more than a single candidate for each political party, but of the four “county” offices in the City of St. Louis this year only one of the four is challenged, and none will be challenged in the November general election. The other three will skate through this primary and the November general without an opponent.
The three that will automatically have another four years in office are Collector of Revenue Gregory F.X. Daly, License Collector Michael McMillan, and Recorder of Deeds Sharon Quigley Carpenter. Clerk of the Circuit Court Mariano V. Favazza is being challenged by attorney Jane Schweitzer.

The domain marianofavazza.com, registered via GoDaddy on 10/14/2008, links to unflattering articles about the incumbent Circuit Clerk.  I’ve not met challenger Jane Schweitzer but I suggest you read her issues page and see what you think. I did not find a candidate website for Mariano Favazza. Please be sure to vote next week. For voters in the City of St. Louis you can see sample ballots for each party at the St. Louis Board of Elections.
