Kellum, Smith in runoff for criminal appeals court seat
Criminal Appeals Judge Beth Kellum will meet Will Smith in a runoff for the Republican nomination for the Place 2 seat. Kellum, who has served on the five-member court since 2009, led a three-person field but couldn’t get a majority. She and Smith, a former member of the Lauderdale County Commission, will meet in the runoff on March 31. Jill Ganus, who was appointed to a Jefferson County district court judgeship in 2017, came in third. No Democrats are running for the position for winning the GOP nomination is tantamount to election.
