Magistrate Jackie Wicker has served on the Marion County Fiscal Court since 2003, but Bobby Hardin Jr. and Monty Ray Mullins are seeking to replace him.
That trio are on the ballot for the District 1 magistrate’s seat, and Democratic voters will have their pick in the May 20 Primary Election.
All three candidates sat down with the Enterprise recently to discuss their candidacies. (Transcripts of those interviews can be found online at www.lebanonenterprise.com.)

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office discovered an indoor marijuana growing operation at 2:30 a.m. March 16. The sheriff’s office discovered the marijuana while investigating an unrelated complaint at 740 Burke Springs Road, five miles north of Lebanon.
At the scene, sheriff’s deputies found 119 marijuana plants in a trailer behind a residence. The deputies also found around two pounds of processed marijuana, a small amount of synthetic marijuana, drug paraphernalia, two firearms and $366 in cash.

Monty Ray Mullins, 54, lives in Bradfordsville with his wife, Pamela. They have three children and five grandchildren. Mullins is a 1977 graduate of Marion County High School. He works at PDCI and O’Reilly’s.

2.What experiences and education have prepared you to serve as magistrate?

Carla Wagner, the executive director of the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission, reported that the tourism office has received a lot of traffic since Lebanon was named a trailhead for the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
The commission approved paying $10,000 to remain part of the Bourbon Trail this year during its March 10 meeting. Commissioners Nancy Shockency and Joe Hickey were not present for last week's meeting.
