Two Coweta
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.
