The candidates qualify to run
as residents of the specific district. But the voters from all of Fayette
County make the final determination.
I believe the commissioners
elected in north Fayette will not represent the south Fayette citizens'
interests. I know. I have been in the position to call on a commissioner
I helped elect to office, but I got nothing in return because I was not
in his district.
We should study and change
the voting districts in Fayette County to vote and elect a county commissioner
from our neighborhoods, and let others elect the commissioner from their
communities.
