County commissioners will not know their electoral fate

until the November election.

That's just

one of the verdicts that will be rendered by voters this

year. Qualifying ended last week and it looks like it

will be a busy election season.

In the

commissioners' races, Chairman Vernon "Mutt"

Hunter will have to wait until November to find out his

fate. Hunter was the sole Republican to qualify and will

face off against Democrat Marvin McKoy in the Nov. 7

General Election.

The race

for commission Post 4 will be decide in the General

Primary July 18, when Republican incumbent Charlie Jones

battles former commissioner Jim Morgan and Leigh

Schlumper in the Republican primary.

In

commission District 5, Democrat Robert Wood will face

Republican Tom Touchstone in the November race.

In other

races to be decided:

Six candidates will compete

for school board District 2: Everton Archer, Daniel

Evans, Ike Hudson, Richard Mann, Allan C. Payton and

Brian Roy. School board races are nonpartisan and will be

decided in the July primary.

The seat

was formerly held by Harry Mullins, who is not seeking

reelection.

School board District 5

member Rick Melville did not receive any opposition in

his race.

In school board District 6,

Marihope Shirey Troutman and William "Bill"

Word will vie for the seat vacated by Beth Wagstaff, who

is not seeking reelection.

One of the more interesting

races should be for the clerk of Superior Court, where

incumbent Joan Griffies faces opposition from Mary Jane

Thompson, who worked in the clerk's office for years. The

race is nonpartisan.

The only

other contested races are for General Assembly seats.

In Georgia Senate District

28, incumbent Rick Price faces opposition from Dan Lakly,

Charlie Harper and Mitch Seabaugh in the Republican

primary.

In House District 106,

incumbent John Yates faces off against Thomas McBroom in

the Republican primary. The winner faces Democrat Lee

Howell in the November race.
