Open seat, contested: Jared Madison Cobb (R) faces Ashley Curtis (D) on the November 3, 2026 ballot, per the Kentucky Secretary of State's county candidate filing list. Sitting Magistrate Fred Meyer (per the official jessamineky.gov Fiscal Court roster) is not among the November filers, so this is an open seat. A third Republican filer for this district, Rodney T. Burton, withdrew - but Burton's withdrawal is recorded against District 5 on the SOS list, not District 1.
Justice of the peace. Justices of the peace handle the lowest-level court matters: small claims, evictions, traffic and minor criminal cases, and, in some states, marriages and inquests. The office is part of the judiciary, so candidates are limited in what they may promise.
