2 candidates are tracked for Pike County Jailer on the November 3, 2026 ballot: Scott E. Bevins and Ricky A. Bostic. Candidate information follows official Pike County election filings; verify with the official election office linked below.
Open seat, contested: Scott E. Bevins (D) faces Ricky A. Bostic (R) on the November 3, 2026 ballot, per the Kentucky Secretary of State's county candidate filing list. The sitting jailer, Brian Morris (per the Pike County government officials page and per Pike County News-Express reporting that he opted not to seek re-election), withdrew his filing and is not a November candidate; two other Republican filers (John Jason Fields) and a Democratic filer (Verda Mae Thacker) also withdrew, per the SOS list. Earlier local reporting describing a three-way jailer race and Morris's possible run for judge/executive predates these withdrawals and no longer matches the current filing; the SOS list above is the most current record.
