About this race
Eric D. Aldridge (Republican) and Tony Nelson (independent, filed by petition May 21, 2026) both appear on the Clerk's official August 2026 candidate filings for District 5; earlier 2026 press coverage described Aldridge as running unopposed, but Nelson's later independent filing (after Kentucky's June 2, 2026 petition deadline for such candidates) makes this a contested November race per the Clerk's own list.
What this office does
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.
This race. The sitting officeholder, Eric D. Aldridge, is on the ballot.
