About this race
Incumbent Michael Logsdon filed as the only Republican candidate for District 8 per the clerk's April 2026 filing list and the county's official magistrates page; no Republican primary was needed. Karin L. Soltau filed as the only Democratic candidate for District 8, making this a likely CONTESTED November race (Logsdon R vs. Soltau D), though Soltau's continued candidacy through November could not be independently confirmed beyond the filing record.

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.
