Of the three positions on the Walker County School Board it appears that only one, that for Post 4, will be contested during this year’s general election.
Unless independent candidates register before Aug. 6 for inclusion on the Nov. 6 ballot, Phyllis Hunter faces no opposition in her bid for re-election as Post 5 representative.
The Post 4 seat contest pits Democratic candidate Ronald L. Cabero against Republican candidate Dale Wilson.
The Post 1 seat will be decided during the upcoming GOP primary July 31 unless independent candidates qualify. That Post 1 primary race is between Karen Stoker, a retired teacher and graduation coach at LaFayette Middle School, and Dennis Willerson, lead school psychologist for Bradley County (Tenn.) Schools.
Stoker, 56, said her election would make the school board more diverse.
