Salyersville mayoral candidate James “Pete” Shepherd has publicly called on Allen Drive residents to come forward with information about a reported visit involving incumbent Mayor Stanley Howard and a former city council member. In a Facebook post Saturday, Shepherd referenced a $2,500 reward for those willing to come forward, adding, “Better than $100 No questions asked!!!” Shepherd did not explain what information he was seeking, identify the former council member, or clarify the significance of his $100 reference. The post comes just days before Tuesday’s municipal election. Source: Pete Shepherd Facebook post #AppalachiaInsider #MagoffinCounty #Salyersville #KentuckyPolitics #Election2026 #LocalNews
