The Hamilton County Education Association has endorsed candidates in two races for the Hamilton County Board of Education.

The teachers union endorsed Katherine Benefield for the District 1 race. Benefield is challenging incumbent Rhonda Thurman.

HCEA also endorsed retired principal and teacher Ralph Miller in the District 7 race against recently retired teacher Donna Horn.

The union made no pick in the District 2 race, where Mike Harvey has launched a write-in campaign against Jonathan Welch, the sole name on the ballot.
