Those interested in running must file papers by the July 17^th deadline to be considered for a 4-year term. The candidates that qualified are as follows. (No director term expires this year in Lewis County, so the district is not listed):

District I Hickman County: Incumbent Dr. Zachary Hutchens, MD

District III Perry County: Incumbent Tommy L. Graham

District IV Humphreys County: Incumbent Jessie Wallace and Richard S. Welchans

District V Houston County: Incumbent Cass S. Rye and Jeffrey S. Wells
